Figure 1. Preservative type does not alter the community structure of T. septentrionalis fungus gardens.

Figure 1

(A) Relative abundances of phyla in T. septentrionalis fungus gardens, grouped by colony. Phyla with relative abundances ≤15% in all samples are grouped into a single “Other” category. (B) PCoA of Weighted UniFrac distances between T. septentrionalis fungus garden bacterial communities. Colors indicate preservative types, and shapes indicate samples from different colonies. (C) Alpha-diversity (Shannon’s, Observed, and Chao1) in T. septentrionalis fungus gardens. Center bars in the box plot indicate the median, top and bottom of boxes indicate the 25th and 75th quartile, respectively, and whiskers indicate ±1.5 times the standard error. Single points represent outliers.
