Boxplot of taxonomic diversity of the gut bacterial microbiota (OTUs) of C. convexus females and males from rural and urban habitats using the Hill numbers (A) when the parameter value, q = 0 (0D), (B) when the parameter value, q → 1 (1D), and (C) when the parameter value, q = 2 (2D). In boxplots horizontal lines represent median values, boxes show the interquartile ranges, whiskers represent the minimum and maximum values, while points outside the whiskers are outliers.
