(A–C) Comparisons of paired environment and bat samples by alpha and beta diversity metrics. (A) Beta diversity of paired environmental samples (blue) and bat skin samples (red) were significantly different (R²: 0.033, p-value < 0.001) as shown in an NMDS ordination (stress = 0.20). (B) Shannon diversity and (C) richness were not significantly different between the environment and bat skin, with many of the dominant taxa shared between groups. (Kruskal-Wallis test of significance p > 0.05).
