From: Changes in social environment impact primate gut microbiota composition
Changes in social living conditions result in changes in GM composition. (A) Chao1 alpha diversity did not differ across our diet-controlled, social living conditions. In the boxplots, the ends of the boxes denote the first (25%) and third (75%) quartiles, the center line represents the median, and the whiskers represent the range of values falling within the interquartile range (IQR) x 1.5. Single black data points represent individuals. (B) NMDS plot with weighted UniFrac distances depicting the effect of social living on beta diversity. A significant effect due to changes in social living conditions was detected via PERMANOVA analysis, p < .05. (C) Differential relative abundance of bacterial families for the effect of social living. Our LEfSe analysis identified 2 bacterial families, Lactobacillaceae and Clostridiaceae, that significantly changed across our social living conditions. In the horizontal boxplots, the ends of the boxes denote the first (25%) and third (75%) quartiles, the center line represents the median, and the whiskers represent the range of values falling within the interquartile range (IQR) x 1.5. Single black data points represent individuals outside that range
