From: From islands to infectomes: host-specific viral diversity among birds across remote islands
Non-metric multidimensional scaling plots of factors influencing avian microbial compositions. Avian-associated family-level virome compositions (left) and non-viral genus-level microbiome compositions (right) were plotted according to Bray-Curtis distances and coloured by host order (top) and sampling location (bottom). A random jitter of 0.1 was added to the x and y virome point values for pictorial clarity. Family-level virome composition was significantly influenced by host specificity (PERMANOVA p-value = 0.043), while non-viral microbiome compositions were significantly influenced by both host taxonomy and sampling location (PERMANOVA p-values = 0.001 and 0.006, respectively)
