PCA-based visualization of microbial taxonomic profiles generated from the URT of beef calves. A All calves together comparing the effect of stressors independent of sampling point (ANOSIM R = 0.009; p = 0.18). B Suckling calves comparing sampling time (ANOSIM R = 0.2662; p = 1e-04). C Weaned calves comparing sampling time (ANOSIM R = 0.1337; p = 0.006). D Weaned + Transport calves comparing sampling time (ANOSIM R = 0.3418; p = 1e-04). ANOSIM-R = 0–0.25—highly overlapped; ANOSIM-R = 0.25–0.5- different with some overlap; ANOSIM-R = 0.5–0.75- different less overlap; ANOSIM-R ≥ 0.75- different. p-value indicates probability of ANOSIM-R
