Heatmap summarizing the significant (P < 0.05) metadata factors that were collected from a participant survey. Categories with higher F values by PERMANOVA have higher variation in community dissimilarity within 10 body locations. White regions of the heatmap represent nonsignificant results. Body locations and metadata categories were arranged into dendrograms using the Bray-Curtis dissimilarity metric. Back, navel, and torso sites were associated with single samples, which likely contributed to fewer significant F values compared to other locations that were sampled on each side of the body.
