a The association between the maternal modules and the composition of the neonatal microbiotas was determined by the Adonis test with default parameters except for the parameter ‘by’ set as ‘margin’. The Adonis P values are shown. b The classification of the 164 maternal-neonatal dyads into groups A and B according to the clustering of the Minkowski’s distance of maternal variables in maternal factor module 9. c The dbRDA test to show the association between the maternal modules and the composition of the NR microbiota on day 0. A red arrow indicates the influence of a specific maternal module on the microbiota. For example, ‘Module_9B’ represents the enrichment of taxa driven by cluster B of module 9. d The classification of the 164 maternal-neonatal dyads into groups A and B according to the clustering of the Gower’s distance of maternal variables in maternal factor module 12. e The dbRDA test to show the association between the maternal modules and the composition of the NS microbiota on day 1 or 2.
