From: Species-specific gill’s microbiome of eight crab species with different breathing adaptations
Bacterial diversity distribution across sample groups. Bacterial distribution using Principal Coordinates Analyses (PCoA) based on Bray–Curtis distances inferred from 16S rRNA dataset. Ordination analysis was reported on the entire dataset (a) and considering each breathing category separately (b). Breathing categories and crab species are reported in the legend following color patterns whereas the anatomical position of the gills (anterior gills and posterior gills) was represented using empty and full circles. R2 values from Permutational Analysis of Variance on ordination were reported for the significant contrast inside the tested effects for 16S counts (c).
