Bacterial community structure and membership
Using the Bray-Curtis Dissimilarity distances, parasitise treatment,
urbanization, and the interaction between the two variables did not
significantly affect bacterial community structure (Figure S2A, parasite
treatment: F = 1.52, P = 1.00, urbanization: F =
2.05, P = 1.00, Interaction: F = 1.24, P = 0.48).
Using the unweighted UniFrac distances, parasitism, urbanization, and
the interaction between the two variables did not significantly affect
bacterial community membership (Figure S2B, parasite treatment: F= 1.45, P = 1.00, urbanization: F = 2.26, P = 0.52,
Interaction: F = 1.77, P = 0.52). Using the weighted
UniFrac distances, parasite treatment, urbanization, and the interaction
between the two variables did not significantly affect bacterial
community structure (Figure S2C, parasite treatment: F = 2.09,P = 1.00, urbanization: F = 2.73, P = 1.00,
interaction: F = 3.14, P = 0.50). Year did not affect
Bray-Curtis Dissimilarity, weighted UniFrac, or unweighted UniFrac
(Table S2).
