Graphical summary of the community structure by host phylogeny and zoo location. Panel A show host animals colored by phylogenetic order and shaped by location (Zoo or hometown) indicating only small effects of location. Panels B-E show animals belonging to each of the four different phylogenetic orders samples in the cohort. Panel B include enhanced circles and labels for the two animal zookeepers included in the dataset (shapes same as for A). The clustering of species in those orders highly reflects their phylogeny, though many of them live in different group sizes and with diverse other species within the zoos itself. Each panel shows host animals colored by phylogenetic species and shaped by location (Zoo or hometown). Plots are unconstrained principal coordinates analyses made with vegan::capscale, with dist = “bray”, metaMDS = F. Percentages given at each axis present the proportion of variance explained on the axis
