Alpha diversity measures across all species. Individual points and brackets represent the richness estimate and the theoretical standard error range associated with that estimate, respectively. Within each panel, the samples are organized into species, and a boxplot is overlaid on top of this. The mean microbial diversity estimate using Shannon’s diversity index did not differ significantly among all samples (p = 0.28). However, there were significant differences between samples as measured by Observed (p < 0.001) and Chao1 (p < 0.001)
