From: Discrete patterns of microbiome variability across timescales in a wild rodent population
A Within-individual changes in α-diversity observed between paired first and last longitudinal faecal samples, showing an increase in α-diversity (Chao1 index). Boxes represent interquartile range (IQR) with median line. Upper and lower whiskers correspond to highest and lowest values at no more than 1.5 × IQR. Individual points represent outliers. B By-phylum differences in mean CLR abundances of OTUs between first and last live-capture faecal samples. C Biplot showing within-individual changes in β-diversity observed between paired first and last longitudinal faecal samples by site scores on the first two axes of variation observed in C RPCA, D wUniFrac, and E Bray–Curtis distances. Significant associations are found on axis 1 of Bray–Curtis ordination.. (*p < 0.05, ** p < 0.01, *** p < 0.001)
