Plots summarizing major results of best supported multivariate linear regression models predicting Shannon’s diversity index and OTU richness (Additional file 3: Tables S3 and S4). a Shannon’s diversity index versus reproductive state (n = 51) and ovarian cycle phase (n = 28). b OTU richness versus ovarian cycle phase (c) Shannon’s diversity index versus social group size (d) OTU richness versus rainfall in the previous 30 days. C, ovarian cycling; P, pregnant; PPA, postpartum amenorrhea; A, anestrus; S, swelling; O, periovulation; D, deturgescence. *P ≤ 0.05; **P < 0.01; ***P < 0.001
