Figure 1: Non-metric multidimensional scaling (nMDS) plots of the Bray-Curtis diversity metric for microbial communities in the dairy cow GIT.
From: Microbial succession in the gastrointestinal tract of dairy cows from 2 weeks to first lactation
Points are colored by animal age on a continuous rainbow scale with 2-week (red), 4-week (orange), 8-week (green), 1-year (blue), and 2-year (pink). Both archaeal and bacterial rumen plots have a split x-axis denoting a large change between 8 week and adult (1- and 2-year) samples. Fungal rumen plots have an inset plot displaying the 1- and 2-year cluster in more detail.
