ASV richness of fecal samples from wild and captive Damaraland mole-rats. A Violin plots of ASV richness of wild and captive Damaraland mole-rats. Each point represents a sample (Ncaptive = 53, Nwild = 56). B, C Boxplots of number of unique ASVs for the seven phyla with 100% prevalence within wild and captive faecal samples from the Damaraland mole-rat. A The two dominating phyla, Firmicutes and Bacteroidetes. B Cyanobacteria, Actinobacteria, Proteobacteria, Spirochaetes and Synergistetes and a box with the including other remaining phyla, representing the sum of unique ASVs within phyla not represented in all samples. Yellow boxes represent samples from captive individuals and blue-green boxes samples from wild individuals. Note the different y-axis scaling in panels B and C
