Fig. 2

Visualization as principal correspondence analysis of (a) binary (microbial composition) and (b) weighted (microbial structure) Jaccard index. Individual symbols display aggregated microbiota per litter (pnd22) or cage (pnd30, week08, week15, and week30), large symbols display centroids, ellipses indicate 95% of confidence intervals. c Heatmap of R2 for pairwise comparison of different ages. Significance was calculated using PERMANOVA including FDR correction. Number of animals per age are stated in Supplementary Table 4. Pairwise comparison of different dispersions between ages are listed in Supplementary Table 2. pnd: postnatal day; *p < 0.05 ;**p < 0.01.
