Taxonomic and phylogenetic turnover of larval and water bacterial communities with host development. Principal coordinate analysis (PCoA) visualizing compositional variations of larval and water bacterial communities across developmental stages based on Bray-Curtis dissimilarity (a) and weighted UniFrac distance (b). Time-decay in similarity between larval bacterial communities based on Bray-Curtis similarity (c) and phylogenetic similarity based on UniFrac distance (1 - weighted UniFrac distance) (d). The data of similarity values and hours between observations were shown as log₁₀ transformed
