Metamorphosis of a Butterfly-Associated Bacterial Community
Figure 2
Bacterial community variation associated with captivity and rearing.
Constrained principal coordinates analysis showing differences in community composition between adults sampled directly from the wild, wild-caught females kept in an insectary (“Parental”), and their reared adult offspring (“Mature adults”). CAP1 and CAP2 are the canonical axes in principal coordinate space that best discriminate among adult groups.
