  1. One-way permutational analysis of variance (Type III SS, 9999 unrestricted permutations of raw data) using the PERMANOVA + 1 package within PRIMER 7.0.13 (Primer E, Quest Research Ltd) on a Euclidean distance matrix. Pairwise tests show stages that are significantly different separated by spaces; stages that are not significantly different are shown by square brackets
