Differences in the gut microbiota of two species of wild mice. (A) Alpha diversity of the gut microbiota of two species of wild mice. The distribution of the number of observed amplicon sequence variants, the Simpson’s index and the Shannon’s index of each group is shown in the box plot. (B) Principle coordinate analysis plot of Bray-Curtis dissimilarity between the gut microbiota of Micromys minutus (orange) and Mus musculus (blue). Ellipses indicate 95% confidence intervals. (C) Histograms of the linear discriminant analysis scores for genera with differential abundance identified using linear discriminant analysis effect size in M. minutus (orange) and M. musculus (blue).
