As you have noticed, the current version of `beta-group-significance` does not return the R2 value you are looking for. What is returned is discussed in [this thread](https://forum.qiime2.org/t/group-significance-changes-and-interpretation/2396/)... Running `qiime diversity adonis` does return an R2 value directly in Qiime2, and is another form of ANOVA. Plus the adonis test lets you [control for some variables while testing others](https://forum.qiime2.org/t/interpretation-beta-diversity-permdisp-adonis/21856/4), which is very useful. I would suggest running that! --- _[View the full topic](https://forum.qiime2.org/t/r-squared-on-qiime-diversity-beta-group-significance/27299)._
