Fig. 5From: Does solar irradiation drive community assembly of vulture plumage microbiotas?Abundance of the commonest bacterial genera. Scatterplots of CSS log2 normalized counts of the commonest bacterial genera and the number of ASVs observed in plumage samples. aDeinococcus (adjusted R2 = 0.30, P = 0.0006) and Hymenobacter (adjusted R2 = 0.30, P = 0.0001) in dorsal plumage samples. b Comparable scatterplots for ventral plumage: Deinococcus (adjusted R2 = 0.52, P = 0.000001) and Hymenobacter (adjusted R2 = 0.59, P = 0.0000001). c Scatterplots of the second (Clostridium sensu stricto 1; adjusted R2 = 0.10, P = 0.043), fourth (Bacillus; adjusted R2 = 0.10, P = 0.041), and fifth most abundant genus (Mobilicoccus; adjusted R2 = 0.35, P = 0.0001) in dorsal plumage samples. d Comparable scatterplots for ventral plumage: Clostridium sensu stricto 1 (adjusted R2 = 0.16, P = 0.012), Mobilicoccus (adjusted R2 = 0.33, P = 0.0003), and Clostridium sensu stricto 7 (adjusted R2 = 0.13, P = 0.024). The x-axis represents the number of ASVs (log10) observed in individual samples. R2 and two-tailed P-values were derived from simple linear regressionBack to article page
