16S rRNA gene-based taxonomic distribution of bacteria within takahē faecal samples at A phylum and B genus levels. Taxa with mean relative 16S rRNA gene sequence abundance < 0.1% and < 1%, respectively, are grouped together as ‘Others’. Each bar represents a single takahē faecal sample. Wild population = Te Puhi-a-Noa Murchison Mountain, captive population = Burwood Takahē Centre, insurance populations = Cape Sanctuary, Foveaux Strait island, Mana Island, Motutapu Island, Rotoroa Island and Tiritiri Matangi Island. No supplementary feed was provided to Te Puhi-a-Noa Murchison Mountain or Foveaux Strait Is takahē
