From: Host phylogeny and host ecology structure the mammalian gut microbiota at different taxonomic scales
Gut microbiota composition of African herbivores. a Stacked bar plots showing the relative frequency of 16S rRNA gene sequences assigned to each bacterial family (or order, if a family-level classification could not be assigned) across samples. Samples are grouped by host species, and each color represents a bacterial family. b Bacterial families significantly associated with particular herbivore families as determined by indicator species analysis. Differences in these taxa abundances can explain differences in the microbiota among the different groups. Note how no bacterial taxa were associated with Bovid hosts. c Bacterial families significantly associated with herbivores from different dietary guilds as determined by indicator species analysis
