Fig. 3

Multiple comparisons of the impact of bird age on C. olor faecal prokaryotic community diversity at the family scale (A) and genus scale (B). Diversity analysis comprising observed richness (i.e., the total number of taxa present per sample), Shannon index and Simpson index (y axis). The numbers indicate p values. Proportion of viruses that are considered bird-infecting in juveniles compared to adults in the total dataset, and in different seasons. Only those juveniles over 4 months old are shown in C.
