From: The gut microbiota composition of Trichoplusia ni is altered by diet and may influence its polyphagous behavior

(a) Principal coordinate analysis (PCoA) of pairwise dissimilarities (Bray–Curtis index) for bacterial communities in A. thaliana leaves (red circles), S. lycopersicum leaves (green rhombi) and in the artificial diet (blue squares). (b). Principal coordinate analysis (PCoA) of pairwise dissimilarities (Bray–Curtis index) for bacterial communities in guts of Trichoplusia ni derived from populations fed with each different diet. (c). Bacterial relative abundance measures from ASVs classified at the phyla level present in each diet (A. thaliana leaves, S. lycopersicum leaves or artificial diet). ANCOVA (p < 0.05). (d). Bacterial relative abundances of ASVs classified at the phyla level in Trichoplusia ni guts samples from populations of Trichoplusia ni fed with specific diets. The size of each segment in the (c) and the (d) chart is proportional to the relative abundance of the ASVs assigned to each phylum.
