Divergent fungal alpha diversity maturation patterns are observed in the first year of life. A Fungal Shannon and Chao1 alpha diversity indices at 3 and 12 months of age, assessed by Mann–Whitney U test (3 months: n = 95, 12 months: n = 95). B Comparison of fungal beta diversity using the Bray–Curtis dissimilarity index at 3 and 12 months, assessed by PERMANOVA (3 months: n = 95, 12 months: n = 95). Ellipses represent 95% CI. C Changes in fungal alpha diversity (Shannon index) per individual from 3 to 12 months, assessed by paired t-test (decrease: n = 73, increase: n = 18; see Figure S3A for fungal richness). D Comparison of fungal beta diversity using the Bray–Curtis dissimilarity index by alpha diversity trend at 3 and 12 months, assessed by PERMANOVA (decrease: n = 73, increase: n = 18; see Figure S3B for fungal richness). Ellipses represent 95% CI. E Fungal beta dispersion by alpha diversity trend at 3 and 12 months, assessed by permutation test (decrease: n = 73, increase: n = 18)
