FIGURE 1.
The relative abundance of microbial families in gut samples from (A) the Bengalese Finches and (B) the zebra finches through the different phases of the reproductive cycle: at incubation, 5 days (D5), 10 days (D10), 35 days (D35), and 100 days (D100) after hatching the youngest chick, respectively. Rare phyla with relative abundances below 1% are not shown.
