Lemur faecal microbiota composition across seasons and locations. dbRDA Analyses of the abundance-weighted phylogenetic composition at OTU level of individual lemurs across seasons (early dry and early wet) in different geographic areas visualised in ordination. Faecal microbiota significantly cluster by season. Results are given for the percentage of variation explained by the sum of the first two canonical axes, percentage explained by season with corresponding P-value. (a) Eulemur fulvus in Ankarafantsika National Park, (39.8%, 16.9%, P = 0.001). (b) Eulemur fulvus in Andasibe (46.5%, 20.2%, P = 0.001. (c) Eulemur rufifrons in Ranomafana NP (31.1%, 13.5%, P = 0.001). d) Eulemur rubriventer, Ranomafana NP (31.3%, 12.5%, P = 0.001).
