Distinct microbiotas of anatomical gut regions display idiosyncratic seasonal variation in an avian folivore

Table 2 P-values for log likelihood tests of linear mixed model regressions for relationships of observed number of OTUs with season, sex, gut region, geographic coordinates, body mass, and accounting for the matched design by individual. Complete outputs of statistical tests are presented in Additional file 6
