Microbial composition revealed in neighbor-joining trees and Venn diagram. a–f The phylogenetic analyses revealed that the microbes of phyla Bacteroidetes and Firmicutes are mostly found in both habitats, while several microbes of phyla Proteobacteria, Acidobacteria, Planctomycetes, and Actinobacteria are only found in farmland frogs. This result suggests that the special intestinal environment leads assemblage of unique microbes with higher phylogenetic niche conservatism in farmland frogs. The red, blue, and green dots indicate the microbes found in frogs of natural population only, farmland population only, and both natural and farmland populations, respectively. g Venn diagram representing the species diversity of the intestinal microbial taxa in frog intestines. The numbers in circles represent the number of taxa. As can be seen, a higher number of unique microbial taxa were found in farmland frogs (for which the individual F2 made the highest contribution). These results revealed that the anthropogenic interference have altered the microbial phylogenetic distribution and species composition
