Fig. 1

Captivity but not geography shifts the Brown Kiwi gut bacterial composition. A Map of collection sites and captive kiwi origin sites where shapes indicate type of site. Collection sites are locations where kiwi feces were sampled and origin sites are where kiwi eggs were lifted. Colors correspond to key in panel b. Teal colors correspond to captive sites, while brown colors correspond to wild sites. B NMDS plot using Bray-Curtis distance metric shows samples clustering by captivity status with little overlap between the groups (PERMANOVA, r2 = 0.07, p = 0.001). Ellipses denote 95 % confidence level
