Figure 1

Cecal microbiota structure after insect-based diet administration. (A) Diversity within SD and ID microbial communities measured by number of observed species and Shannon index. Data are mean ± SEM. Significant differences are indicated by *p < 0.05 and **p < 0.01 (two-sided Student’s two-sample t-test). (B, C) PCoA plots based, respectively, on unweighted and weighted UniFrac distances of SD and ID gut microbial communities (5,234 sequences/sample).
