Correlations between Christensenellaceae, Mogibacteriaceae, Rikenellaceae, and 14 other bacterial families. Correlations between the abundance of Christensenellaceae, Mogibacteriaceae, Rikenellaceae, and 14 other bacterial families are shown as a heatmap (a) and network (b). a Kendall’s Tau-b ratio is shown for combinations with P < 0.001 and |τ| > 0.2. The strength of the shading within each cell indicates the strength of the positive (blue) or negative (red) correlation for a given bacterial family combination. NS, P ≥ 0.001; NC, |τ| ≤ 0.2. b Nodes for two correlated families (P < 0.001 and |τ| > 0.2) are shown connected by a line. The color, strength, and thickness of the lines indicate the strength of the positive (blue) or negative (red) correlation between the families.
