Differentially abundant bacteria between poorly- and highly-attractive groups. Volcano plot of amplicon sequence variants (ASVs, black dots). DESEQ2 was used to calculate log 2 fold changes i.e. if bacterial ASVs are more or less abundant in the poorly-attractive compared to highly-attractive group. X axis represents log 2 fold change abundance in the poorly-attractive compared to highly-attractive groups, with the biggest changes furthest from the centre. Y axis indicates the negative log-10 transform of the nominal p-value, i.e. increasing significance away from the origin. Red line represents P = 0.05 for exploratory purposes. ASVs above the red line are nominally significance and considered differentially abundant. Where genus level taxonomy is available and the ASV is above the red line it is labelled with genus level taxonomy
