| Inverse Simpson | 0.93 ± 0.03 | 0.96 ± 0.01 | 0.826 |
1 CON = a basal diet; YCW = CON with 0.05% dietary yeast cell wall; OTUs = operational taxonomic units; Chao1 = estimation of richness for OTUs definition; Shannon = explanation the number and evenness of species; inverse Simpson = probability of two randomly selected individuals in their habitat belong to the same species; n = 3.
