Fraction of shared ASVs between the different anatomic sites at the animal level. For each animal and each time point, the number of ASVs shared between two sites was calculated and divided by the total number of ASVs in each site of the pair. Distribution of these fractions of shared ASVs between two sites is presented as boxplot. For each pair of sites and each time point, the left boxplot corresponds to the fraction of shared ASVs in the site mentioned in line and the right boxplot corresponds to the fraction of shared ASVs in the site mentioned in column. Boxplot median and colored square represent the median and mean fractions of ASVs shared between the two sites respectively
