Non-metric multidimensional scaling ordination using the Bray–Curtis index of dissimilarity of the gut bacterial samples (OTUs) from C. convexus individuals (A) at the habitat-level (open green circles represent gut bacterial samples from rural, while open red ones represent samples from urban beetles), and (B) at the level of habitat type × sex interaction (green symbols represent rural, red ones urban beetles, while open squares represent females, open down triangles males). Ellipses (convex hulls) were based on the standard errors of the averages (centroids) of points multiplied with the 95% confidence value from the Chi-squared distribution (number of permutations: 999). Final stress value: 17.0069.
