Adonis F statistic for separation by body site according to all 11 tested indices, for datasets randomly down-sampled following two different regimes. Taxa co-occurrences and phylogenetic interactions were re-calculated for every down-sampled dataset. (A) 5, 10, 20 and 50 samples per body site were randomly selected from the full HMP dataset, at 10 iterations per down-sampling step. (B) 1,000 randomly selected samples were down-sampled to a depth of 1,000 sequences per sample; this dataset was then further down-sampled to 50 sequences per sample in several steps, at 10 random iterations per step.
