Figure 1.
Box plots of the alpha diversity indexes (observed, Chao1 and Shannon) as a function of (a) sampling time and (b) protein level (high, red dots; or low, blue dots). T1, T2, and T3 correspond to fecal samplings after weaning and before the change of feeding, before the change of housing, and at the end of the experiment (end of the post-weaning period), respectively.
