The variation in phylum relative abundance with season, sex, and immune indices. a Stacked bar plots of phylum relative abundance per sample. Note that the large phylum Proteobacteria was divided into the three classes present. b Boxplots of the relative abundances of the five most abundant phyla. The data is organized per sex and season (S = summer, W = winter), starting with the summer of 2013. The relationships between the logit(proportion) of Bacteroidetes and BMR c, the logit(proportion) of Firmicutes and body mass d and BSA titre e, the logit(proportion) of Fusobacteria and residuals of the haemolysis titre f, and the logit (proportion) of Gammaproteobacteria and BSA titre g are presented in separate panels. Statistics are presented in Table 4
