Group size fixed to a minimum of 10 and effect size to a fold change of 5. Each arrow reflects the higher or lower differential abundance in comparison to the contrasting group (adults versus adolescents, healthy BMI versus overweight, multiparous versus primiparous, early lactation versus established lactation, exclusive and predominant breastfeeding versus mixed feeding and Non-SCM versus SCM). The symbol (—) represents ''not found''.
