Alpha and beta diversity analyses. Alpha diversity comparisons of the gut microbiomes of a ITBs and RJBs, b rural and urban bees, and c urban ITB and RJBs and rural RJBs based on richness (# of ASVs), evenness (Pielou's evenness index) and phylogenetic diversity (Faith’s phylogenetic diversity index). * = p-value < 0.05, Kruskal Wallis test. Beta diversity comparisons of the gut microbiomes of urban and rural bees. Principal coordinate analysis plots based on d Bray Curtis dissimilarity and e weighted UniFrac. Significance was tested using PERMANOVA with 999 permutations (Bray Curtis, p = 0.014; weighted UniFrac, p = 0.015). Ellipses represent the 95% confidence interval
