Table 3.

Effect of dietary restriction and ad libitum feeding, pre and post restriction, on alpha diversity, species richness and presence of MCRA clusters in treatment groups; A, AA, R and RA.

	Treatment				P value
	R	A	RA	AA	P value
MCRA Clusters	21^a	24^b	24^b	24^b	<0.0001
Richness	1.41^a	2.22^b	2.09^b	2.05^b	<0.0001
Shannon	1.41^a	1.83^a,b	1.85^b	1.96^b	<0.0001
Simpson	0.62^a	0.74^b	0.72^a,b	0.76^b	<0.01

P-values are derived using an one-way ANOVA with a Tukey HSD test was being used to assess the differences between treatments.
