microbiota (GMB) of lemurs a collapsed by environmental condition: wilderness in Madagascar (WM; green), captivity in Madagascar (CM; pink), and captivity in the U.S. (CU.S.; orange), b at each of the eight settings for which we had matched fecal and soil samples (reprising the color codes of each condition, delineated by dashed vertical lines), and c by housing status (i.e., semi-free-ranging in natural habitat enclosures or housed indoors) at the Duke Lemur Center (DLC). 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. Number of samples (n) is reported below each condition and setting. Kruskal–Wallis test with pairwise comparisons and Benjamini–Hochberg correction; * p < 0.05, ** p < 0.01, *** p < 0.001, **** p < 0.0001, ns = nonsignificant
