Fig. 2: Phylogeny and Gut microbiome structure in 8 sympatric species based on 16S rRNA gene amplicon.

Depicted are measures of beta diversity by Non-MetricMulti-Dimensional Scaling (NMDS), including Binary Jaccard distances graphed (A) and Bray Curtis distances graphed (B). C Comparison between gut microbiota tree and host phylogeny relationships, based on Unweighted Pair-group Method with Arithmetic Mean and National Center for Biotechnology Information Taxonomy database. Vegetarian are shaded in the phylogenetic tree.
