Elephant gut composition influenced by zoo facility. A PCoA of Bray–Curtis distances (95% confidence ellipses shown for species) showing African and Asian elephant gut microbiome compositions with zoo facilities represented as unique colors with line linkages, and host species represented by shape (circle = African elephant, triangle = Asian elephant) (PERMANOVA p = 0.001; zoo explained 65.15% variance). B African elephant gut microbiomes are more similar among zoos near one another (Mantel test unweighted UniFrac p = 0.0157, r = 0.218)
