Fig 5. Principle coordinate analysis (PcoA) of the ceacum (red squares) and feacal (blue circles) microbiomes.

Comparisons were carried out using both qualitative and quantitative measures of alpha and beta diversity. A) PcoA using abundance based Jaccard dissimilarity coefficient, B) PcoA using binary Jaccard dissimilarity coeffiecient, C) PcoA based on weighted UniFrac, D) PcoA based on unweighted UniFrac. The percent variation explained by each principle coordinate is shown.
