Effect of route on patterns of community composition in CMT birds compared to PBS birds. Principle coordinate of Bray-Curits dissimilarity plots show differences between the composition of CMT groups compared to PBS groups, though not as distinct as in the timing experiment. At 7-dph the distinction between the CMT and PBS groups was most clear with the CMT groups appearing to cluster more closely with the donor CMT than the PBS groups (A). Similar shifts appear to occur with the PBS-ST group at 3-dpi (B) as occurred in the timing experiment with the PBS-ST group developing a composition like that of the CMT groups compared to PBS groups. By 7-dpi (C) and 14-dpi (D) more of the PBS-ST groups cluster with the CMT groups than the PBS groups
