From: Composition and evolution of the gut microbiota of growing puppies is impacted by their birth weight
Beta diversity of fecal microbiota (Bray–Curtis index) depending on birth weight. MDS plots showing the evolution and dissimilarities of puppies’ fecal microbiota composition based on their birth weight quartile groups calculated using Bray–Curtis distances. Each point represents an individual puppy sample, positioned on the plot based on the similarity of its microbiota community with other samples. The closer points are on the plot, the more related their bacterial communities are, based on taxa similarity and abundance. ns, Non significant.
