Biogeography of the ocular microbiome (Courtesy of Dr Jerome Ozkan, School of Optometry and Vision Science, University of New South Wales). Conjunctiva_tissue = limbal conjunctiva removed from fellow eye of patients undergoing pterygium surgery; Conjunctiva_surface = swabs of the bulbar conjunctiva of humans; Lid_margin = swabs of the lid margin of humans; skin = swabs of the skin on the upper eyelid of humans. MDS = multidimensional scaling which is used to display the positions of the OTUs in two dimensions; this gives information regarding the similarities of OTUs between and within mammalian species.
