Taxa driving the separation of samples along the PC1 axis. A Loading scores of PC1 (Fig. 1) sorted for all ASVs on x-axis. ASVs with the top 2% loading scores (N = 101 ASVs) are filled in blue-green and correspond to ASVs characterising wild gut microbiota and ASVs filled in yellow correspond to ASVs with the 2% with the lowest loading scores (101 ASVs) characterising captive gut microbiota of Damaraland mole-rats. B Summed loading scores per family of ASVs within the 2% tails of loading scores of PC1 shown in plot A. The colour of the bars represents the group in which the ASVs were overrepresented, with negative loading scores associated with captive samples (yellow) and positive with wild samples (blue-green). The numbers within the boxes are the numbers of differentially abundant ASVs (N = 620 out of 690) identified with ANCOM within each of the families and their direction of driving the variation
