Within-subject stability intraclass correlation coefficients for saliva samples in 2 studies (a Costa Rica study (Dr. Paula González, INCIENSA Foundation, unpublished data, 2015) and the Human Microbiome Project (HMP) (30)) for 5 phyla, 4 alpha-diversity metrics, and the first principal coordinate (PCoA1) and average of 1–5 principal coordinates (PCoA1–5) of 2 beta-diversity metrics. OTUs, operational taxonomic units; PCoA, principal coordinates analysis; PD_Tree, phylogenetic distance—whole tree. Bars, 95% confidence intervals.
