Fig. 4From: Dynamic changes in fecal bacterial microbiota of dairy cattle across the production lineSimilarity and difference of the fecal bacterial communities. A Non-metric multidimensional scaling (NMDS) plot of the Bray-Curtis distance for bacterial communities in different management units. Each point represents a fecal bacterial community and is colored by the management unit from which it was sampled. The communities are grouped into three clusters (I, II, and III) circled in blue, black, and red rings, respectively.
