Alpha diversity metrics of soil microbiota (a, b) collapsed by environmental condition, including the wilderness in Madagascar (WM; green), captivity in Madagascar (CM; pink), and captivity in the U.S. (CU.S.; orange) and (c, d) averaged across individuals for each of the eight different settings (reprising the color codes of each condition, delineated by dashed vertical lines). Shown are both (a, c) Shannon diversity and (b, d) Faith’s phylogenetic diversity. Across the (c, d) settings within a condition (see Table 1 for names of abbreviated research settings), the data are plotted in descending order of mean Shannon diversity. Tukey-style box and whiskers show the median (center horizontal line) and the interquartile range (upper and lower bounds of the box), with outliers that are 1.5 times less than the 25th quartile or 1.5 times more than the 75th quartile. The number of samples (n) is reported below each environmental condition and setting
