Linear discriminant analysis effect size (LEfSe) analysis of gut microbiota composition between wild and captive lizards (LDA > 2.9, p < 0.05). (a) Taxonomic representation of statistically and biologically consistent differences between wild and captive lizards. Differences are represented using a colored circle, color in circles represent their respective levels of classification, and circle size is proportional to the taxon's abundance, represents the Phylum, the class, the order, and the family. (b) Histogram of the LDA scores computed for features differentially abundant between wild and captive lizards. LEfSe scores can be interpreted as the degree of consistent difference in the relative abundance of analyzed microbial communities between wild and captive lizards
