The core microbiome of both cloacal and fecal samples for western screech-owls (A), whiskered screech-owls (B), and both species combined (C). Shown are the detection thresholds for proportion of reads for varying prevalence levels. All bacterial species at the detection threshold of 1% have over 50% prevalence for western screech-owls and for both species. A 75% prevalence was used for whiskered screech-owls because of the smaller number of individuals sampled. Only a few bacterial species have greater than 50% prevalence at greater threshold percentages
