Fig. 5: Relationship between individual heterozygosity and estimates of skin microbiome alpha diversity.
From: Microbiome and epigenetic variation in wild fish with low genetic diversity
Alpha diversity measurements include (a) Chao1, (b) Shannon index, (c) Simpson’s evenness index and (d) Faith phylogenetic distance for Kryptolebias ocellatus and Kryptolebias hermaphroditus (pooled, n = 28) in the sympatric (FUN, GUA) and allopatric locations (SFR, FLO). Grey bands represent 95% confidence intervals. Data were analysed using linear models: lm(alpha diversity ~ Species + SL + Location + H.indiv). Individual heterozygosity significantly influenced Chao1 richness (F = 6.192, P = 0.020) and Faith phylogenetic diversity F = 8.338 P = 0.008). Non-parametric bootstrapping regressions based on 1000 repeats supported these results (Supplementary Data 5). Source Data are provided as a Source Data file.
