Figure 1From: Comparison of fecal and cecal microbiotas reveals qualitative similarities but quantitative differences Alpha diversity is significantly different between fecal and cecal microbiota. Alpha diversity indicators of cecal (red) and fecal (blue) samples all showed significant (p < 1e−5) difference based on 1e5 Monte Carlo permutations. The indices plotted in the four panels are; A, Chao 1; B, Simpson; C, Shannon; and D, Equitability.Back to article page
