A Phylogenetic tree overview. The size of dots on the branches of the phylogenetic tree indicates the bootstrap support values, with larger circles representing higher support and confidence. B The relative relevance and abundance of several ecological processes in each bin. blue: low leaf-feeding group; pink: middle leaf-feeding group; brown: high leaf-feeding group. For each gibbon species, the leaf-feeding proportion was calculated by per month per family group. All values were sorted in ascending order, with the first 1/3 of the values being the low leaf-feeding group, and so on. The same as below. C Relative importance of each bin on gut microbial community assembly. bins: phylogenetic groups, which represent clusters of related organisms based on genetic similarity. HeS heterogeneous selection, HoS homogeneous selection, DL dispersal limitation.
