Microbial diversity metrics for vulture plumage. a-d Box plots of number of microbial genera and Shannon-Wiener diversity indices observed for dorsal and ventral plumage tract samples of five vulture species. e Principal coordinate analysis (PCoA) plots of microbial genera for dorsal plumage tract samples were based on weighted UniFrac distances. Data for vulture species are colour coded. Crosses represent vulture plumage samples and circles indicate centroids for vulture species. Shaded areas around centroids indicate 68% confidence intervals (one standard deviation). f PCoA plots for ventral plumage tract samples
