Bacterial community assembly patterns: (a, b, d) b-Nearest Taxon Index (bNTI) of bacterial communities in all frogs, with horizontal dashed lines (bNTI values at 2 and − 2) indicating significance thresholds. (c) Bray-Curtis-based Raup-Crick (RCbray) values of frog bacterial communities between F and M groups, with horizontal dashed lines at 0.95 and − 0.95. Community assembly turnover is driven by various deterministic processes, including heterogeneous selection, and stochastic processes, including dispersal limitation by RCbray. (e) Comparisons between F and M groups, and H and NH groups. Boxplots depict the mean niche width (f) comparison of frog-associated soil bacteria
