Fig. 4: Complexity of bacteriome-mycobiome co-occurrence networks varies among different primate groups.

a Co-occurrence networks constructed using all significant correlations (compositionally corrected corrs r > +/−0.6 and p < 0.01) showed clear distinctions in network complexity between human and nonhuman primates. Size of the node shows the number of connections of each fungal ASV. Color of nodes represents bacterial and fungal ASVs shown in Fig. 4a. Each symbol represents an individual primate species. Edge color represents negative (red lines) and positive (green lines) correlations respectively. Bacterial fungal co-occurrence network attributes (b) Neighborhood connectivity and (c) Degree shows a smaller number of bacterial fungal connections in all humans and in western lowland gorillas. Different letters denote significant differences according to Kruskal–Wallis tests. In boxplots, center values indicate the median; bounds of box represents lower/upper quartiles; whiskers show inner fences. The identifier used for primate groups are Mangabey: Agile Mangabeys and Chimps: Chimpanzee.
