Using a number of ASVs associated with parasites in each individual spider, there was a slightly significant difference between ginger‐invaded habitat and native forest sites, with spiders from ginger‐invaded sites having an average of 0.58 ASVs associated with parasites compared to spiders from native forest having on average 0.35 ASVs associated with parasites (Welch t‐test; t = −2.07, p ‐value = .0455).
