Relationships between the microbiota of the nestlings with their parents. (A) The relationship between the observed diversity of the nestlings with observed diversity of their mother. (B) The Jaccard distance between nestlings and each of their parents summarized across individuals with boxplots. The P-value is from a test of whether nestlings have different distances to their fathers and mothers. (C) Relationship between the percent of time an adult male spent at the nest and the Jaccard distance between that male’s microbiota and each of his nestlings. Panels A and B include linear trend lines along with 95% confidence intervals in gray and P-values for the correlation. The boxplots in panel C show the median as a thick line within boxes of the 25th and 75th percentiles, with whiskers for the minimum and maximum, and outliers as separate points
