Fig. 2

Shannon–Weaver alpha diversity over time in three experimental groups of male ring-tailed lemurs (Lemur catta). Shown are values for healthy animals that received no treatment (CON), antibiotics only (ABX), or antibiotics plus fecal transfaunation (ABXFT). Dots represent individual data points and lines connect the mean values of alpha diversity across individuals at each time point. The shaded window represents the period of antibiotic treatment (days 0–6), with fecal transfaunation administered on day 7; all values prior to the onset of treatment represent baseline values and all values post-treatment represent the period of recovery
