Shannon diversity index and observed ASVs for the skin and gut microbiomes across life stage in H. squalostoma. A The ANOVA analysis indicates that adults gut diversity is significantly higher than juveniles’ (F(1,23) = 5.25, p = 0.03, n = 24) whereas their skin is not (F(1,24) = 0.9, p = 0.33, n = 25). B No significant differences of observed ASVs was detected between adults and juveniles on the skin (F(1,23) = 0.27, p = 0.6) or gut (F(1,24) = 1.78, p = 0.18)
