Figure 2

Relative abundance of eukaryotic phyla (a) and prokaryotic genera (b) detected in caribou fecal DNA from seven locations based on the sequencing of the 18S and 16S rRNA genes, respectively. Only the 20 phyla (a) or genera (b) having the highest mean relative abundance across all samples are shown. Bog = The Bog (MB), Char = Charron Lake (MB), CSK = Central Saskatchewan (SK), Flin = Flin Flon (SK), Nao = Naosap-Reed (MB), Ron = La Ronge (SK) and Wab = Wabowden (MB). Black and pink stars indicate significant differences in relative abundance of a taxa between locations and sex, respectively (see Supplementary Tables S3A and S6B for supporting statistical information).
