Effect of site and sample type on diversity indices in present bacterial community structures. a Simpson’s Index of Diversity calculated using ASV-level 16S rRNA gene amplicons for gut samples (left, n = 10) and water samples (right, n = 2). Global p-values were calculated using the Kruskal-Wallis rank-sum test, and pairwise p-values were calculated with the Wilcox rank-sum test. b NMDS plot visualization of Bray-Curtis beta-diversity (k = 2) at the ASV level for gut samples by Site (left) and all samples by Type (right). The ellipse lines show the 95% confidence interval (standard deviation). p-values indicate significance of grouping with adonis2 Permutational Multivariate Analysis of Variance Using Distance Matrices test. c Within site Bray-Curtis dissimilarity index values for gut samples (n = 90; 9 comparisons for each of 10 samples per site). Global p-value was calculated using the Kruskal-Wallis rank-sum test, and pairwise p-values were calculated with the Wilcox rank-sum test
