Significance of arthropod and fungal causal organisms found responsible for the variation in dependent community composition between populations and foliage types of E. morrisbyi.

Organisms listed were those found to be the main symptoms influencing variation in community composition between populations and foliage types based on their stepwise elimination from the Permanova+ analysis. Causal organisms found to significantly influence the variation in dependent community composition between populations and foliage types from this step-down analysis are presented in boldface. Univariate tests of the significance in organism abundance are shown. Between populations this was tested with nonparametric Kruskal-Wallis tests. Statistical significance in organism abundance between foliage types was tested with paired sample t-tests. Foliage type t-values represent the mean difference in adult foliage minus juvenile foliage (Adult-Juvenile). Transformations, if necessary, are listed.Significance of arthropod and fungal causal organisms found responsible for the variation in dependent community composition between populations and foliage types of E. morrisbyi.
