Fig. 6From: Vertically transmitted microbiome protects eggs from fungal infection and egg failureCorrelation of A) observed richness and B) Shannon diversity index of S. virgatus eggshell bacteria relative to that of the mother’s cloaca sampled on the same day. Correlations are not significant for dissected eggs (p = 0.940, p = 0.877) but are nearly so for oviposited eggs (p = 0.102, p = 0.087)Back to article page
