Alpha and beta diversity measures of all soil samples by nest. (a) Effect of nest ID (A, B, C, D, E) on alpha diversity measures (Shannon, Faith’s phylogenetic distance (PD), Pielou’s evenness, and Observed ASVs) of soil samples only. For measures in which nest ID was a significant effect, boxes that do not share a letter are statically significant according to a post hoc Tukey test. (b) PCoA plots from a Bray-Curtis dissimilarity distance matrix. Each point is a soil samples with colors corresponding to colony ID and point shape representing soil type (nest soil - squares, control near - triangles, and control far - circles)
