Fig. 2: Bacterial community composition and beta diversity in patches of initial ant colonies (IPs).
From: Bacterial diversity in arboreal ant nesting spaces is linked to colony developmental stage
a Taxonomic bar plot depicting the relative read abundance of orders on the y-axis. On the x-axis, every bar represents the bacterial community composition of one IP. b Principal coordinates analysis plot, displaying bacterial community similarities amongst IPs. The patch samples are grouped according to the Azteca ant species (alf: A. alfari, n = 27; con: A. constructor, n = 5; xan: A. xanthochroa, n = 10).
