Figure 8: CCA of mammalian distal gut communities.

From: Marine mammals harbor unique microbiotas shaped by and yet distinct from the sea

Figure 8

Canonical Correspondence Analysis (CCA) plot showing the ordination of gut microbiotas from mammalian species (same as shown in Fig. 7, with subsets of six animals each for dolphins, sea lions and manatees) and bacterial taxa. Text in black displays the centroids of the three determinants that were tested, that is, habitat (aquatic and terrestrial), diet (carnivore, omnivore and herbivore) and host group (Carnivora, Cetartiodactyla, Primates and Other).
