Table 5 Higher microbial alpha diversity (observed ASV richness) significantly predicts lower urinary neopterin (ng/mg urinary creatinine, log-transformed) in geladas of the Simien Mountains National Park population.

From: Urinary neopterin reflects immunological variation associated with age, helminth parasitism, and the microbiome in a wild primate
