FIG 2.

Phylogenetic patterns in the community structures of the bacterial gut microbiota of the different host species. Community similarities (Bray-Curtis) were calculated based on the distributions of genus level taxa (see Table S1 in the supplemental material) and visualized by NMDS (stress, 11.3%). The symbols indicate feeding habits: generalists (□), wood feeding (▲), grass feeding (△), soil/humus feeding (○), and fungus cultivating (■). Two species of crickets (Gryllidae) and a beetle larva (Scarabaeidae) were included as outgroups. The species identifier for each data point is included in Fig. S2a in the supplemental material. The clusters were supported by both ADONIS and MRPP analyses (P < 0.001).
