Fig. 5: Response bacteria of gibbons with different leaf-feeding proportion.

Linear Discriminant Analysis Effect Size (LEfSe) analyses revealed significant contributions to the differences in abundance across various bacteria taxonomic levels, from phylum to genus, among different gibbon species with varying proportions of leaf consumption. Top: The phylogenetic tree shows the hierarchical relationships of microbial taxa, with circle sizes indicating the significance of each taxon. Bottom: The bar plot illustrates the LDA scores of different microbial taxa, highlighting their differential abundance between groups, with longer bars indicating higher significance.
