Fig. 1From: Influence of management practice on the microbiota of a critically endangered species: a longitudinal study of kākāpō chick faeces and associated nest litterBray–Curtis dissimilarity distances based on 16S rRNA gene sequences for faecal samples visualised via principal coordinate analysis (PCoA) ordination. Each dot of the PCoA represents the microbiota of a single kākāpō chick faecal sample. Samples are shaped by location and coloured by A whether samples were collected while the chick was in the hand rearing facility versus in a nest, B relative abundance of Escherichia-Shigella coli, and C chick age at sample collection. Panel D depicts the most influential ASV vectors plotted using the vegan::envfit functionBack to article page
