Association of host similarity and gut microbial dissimilarity. a Heatmap of gut microbial dissimilarity based on binary Jaccard distance metrics (left lower half) and host genetic relatedness based on COI gene similarity (right upper half). The range of colors indicates microbial dissimilarity or host COI gene dissimilarity: from light blue (highest gut microbial dissimilarity or lowest host COI gene dissimilarity) to dark blue (lowest gut microbial dissimilarity or highest host COI gene dissimilarity). b Linear regression analysis with the slope of the regression line for host COI gene similarity versus microbial dissimilarity. c, d Comparisons of intra- and inter-specific (c) and intra- and inter-order (d) host COI similarities. e–f Comparisons of intra- and inter-specific (e) and intra- and inter-order (f) microbial variation based on binary Jaccard distances. Asterisks indicate significant differences according to two-tailed Mann–Whitney U tests. *p < 0.05, **p < 0.01; ***p < 0.001.
