3D PCoA obtained by Bray-Curtis distance matrix showing the separation between naked mole-rats (pink), mice (green), western human adults (blue) and a group of different terrestrial mammalian species (carnivores in red (C1-C5), omnivores in orange (O1-O9), herbivores in yellow (H1-H17)) based on their gut microbial composition. Gut microbiota composition of terrestrial mammalian species was retrieved from Muegge et al.³⁴, identification of these mammals is provided in the legend (left). Wild mouse gut microbiota was obtained from Weldon et al.³³. First, second and third principal component are showed, accounting for 25.8%, 22.9% and 8.1% of the total variance in the dataset.
