From: Social odours covary with bacterial community in the anal secretions of wild meerkats
Partial distance-based redundancy analysis plots (capscale function in R) showing separation between meerkats by their group membership (plots are restricted to groups from which at least four members were sampled and for which sex and social class were partialled-out to better illustrate the separation). (a) Partial dbRDA based on Jaccard distance in chemical composition in anal-pouch mixtures and (b) partial db-RDA based on Bray-Curtis distances in bacterial communities in anal-pouch mixtures. Each colour represents a different social group.
