Fig. 3

Alpha diversity comparison among mucosa microbiotas of captive groups. Violin plots display four alpha diversity metrics: A the number of observed OTUs, B Faith’s phylogenetic diversity, C phylogenetic evenness (MPD), and D Shannon’s diversity. Groups that share a letter are not significantly different (adj P > 0.05), whereas groups that share no letters are significant different (adj P < 0.05). Metrics with no significant comparisons among groups are indicated with “ns.” Adjusted p-values were calculated from ANOVA and Tukey’s HSD tests, or from Kruskal–Wallis and Dunn’s tests, depending on data normality
