Fig. 4: Comparison of different alpha diversity metrics between F1 MSUS and control fecal microbiota across life span.
From: Transgenerational effects of early life stress on the fecal microbiota in mice
Comparison of richness (observed ASV), evenness (Pielou’s index), and Shannon-diversity between MSUS and controls per time point. Boxplot with box elements showing upper and lower quantile and median. Whiskers extend from the hinge to ±1.5 times the interquartile range or the highest/lowest value. Outliers are indicated as black points. Significance was calculated using log2 transformed metrics and generalized mixed effect models with FDR correction. Number of animals per group are stated in Supplementary Table 4. pnd: postnatal day; ns: not significant.
