Fig. 5. Monthly fluctuations in the bacterial composition and alpha diversity of the active bacterial community in fecal samples from redfronted lemurs from May 2018 to April 2019.

Fig. 5

A Top five most abundant bacterial genera and their monthly changes for all studied individuals. Line charts display relative abundances from normalized counts. B Monthly variations in alpha diversity measured by Faith’s Phylogenetic Diversity Index in all studied individuals. C PCoA from WUnifrac of the bacterial community and environmental fit analysis depicting significant correlations between temporal fluctuations in beta diversity and the environmental, diet and social factors investigated. D Monthly rates of flower consumption (min/h) correlate negatively with alpha diversity. The effects of diet, affiliation rates and precipitation on alpha diversity were determined with an LMM.
