Relative abundance of koala gut microbial species across locations. Rows represent ASVs (n = 984), columns represent samples (n = 88), and the values in the heatmap represent logged relative microbial abundance, with green representing greater relative abundance. Black and grey shading in the left sidebar indicates the phylum level taxonomic assignment of each ASV (ASVs classified to 11 bacterial phyla). Box 1: five individuals within Noosa show an abundance of the phylum Proteobacteria, whilst showing a depletion in most other phyla. Box 2: ASVs taxonomically assigned to phylum Firmicutes are more abundantly represented in samples from Minjerribah, Redland and Sunshine Coast compared to samples from Noosa. Box 3: ASVs taxonomically assigned to the phylum Bacteroidetes were less abundantly represented in Noosa and Sunshine Coast samples
