From: Captivity reduces diversity and shifts composition of the Brown Kiwi microbiome
Distinct microbial taxa are classed by their representation in captive and wild kiwi. A multinomial species classification method (clamtest) categorized bacterial and fungal OTUs into one of four classes: rare, generalist, wild specialist, and captive specialist. A For bacterial OTUs, 9.9 % were classed as generalist, 53 % as rare, 19.7 % as wild specialist, and 17.4 % as captive specialist. B For fungal OTUs, 0 % were classed as generalist, 46.7 % as rare, 26.7 % as wild specialist, and 26.7 % as captive specialist. Simper analysis detected several OTUs that explained 70 % difference between captive and wild kiwi. OTUs that were classed as either wild specialist or captive specialist in the clamtest were also represented in the same condition with simper. C Nine bacterial OTUs were significantly represented in wild kiwi and four bacterial OTUs in captive kiwi (FDR adjusted p < 0.05). D Two fungal OTUs were significantly represented in wild kiwi (FDR adjusted p < 0.05)
