Similarly, differences between the composition of the microbiota from pups from three different terrestrial habitats (Pilgrim's Haven [PH], Rona Rocks [RR], and Tarbet Slope [TS]) were highly significant ( p < 0.001).

Comparing alpha diversity between ages, the Shannon diversities (mean ± standard eror of mean [SEM] at maximum rarefaction depth of 38,350 sequences) for pup samples were lower (3.92 ± 0.19) than those for yearlings' samples (4.66 ± 0.39), although the difference did not reach statistical significance (Kruskal–Wallis test, H = 3.48, p = 0.062).
