Fig. 3From: The queen’s gut refines with age: longevity phenotypes in a social insect modelAverage abundance and prevalence of gut bacteria in queens (n = 63) and workers (n = 83). Workers are whole gut samples from Kwong et al. [19]. Queen data was normalized by tissue-specific community size to reflect relative abundance values expected from sampling whole guts. The red bars represent average abundance, black bars are prevalence defined at ≥ 0.5% relative abundance, and the bar apex is prevalence defined as two or more reads per gut library. We did not detect F. perrara* in any of the four sampled queen alimentary tract nichesBack to article page
