From: Social status shapes the bacterial and fungal gut communities of the honey bee
Changes in the gut microbial community depending on the honey bee social status. (a) The honey bee gut bacterial and fungal communities clustered using PCoA of the unweighted Jaccard-based and weighted thetaYC-based matrices. Group names are designated by initials, with different colours representing categories, described in Table S1. Nonparametric ANOVA tests were used to test (b) intra-group dissimilarity and (c) inter-group dissimilarity based on the unweighted Jaccard- and weighted thetaYC-based distances. Box plots depict medians (central horizontal lines), the inter-quartile ranges (boxes), 95% confidence intervals (whiskers), and outliers (black dots). Upper panel, bacteria; lower panel, fungi. NEB, newly-emerged bee; 12-h, 12-h-old bee; NB, nurse bee; FB, foraging bee. An FDR adjusted p-value are from Kruskal-Wallis test. Asterisks indicate statistically significant differences between pairs of values (*P < 0.05, **P < 0.01, ***P < 0.001, and ****P < 0.0001).
