Fig. 4

Differentially abundant genera during larval diapause. a Intersection plot showing the shared and specific bacterial genera depending on diapause conditions. The lower part of the plot shows in which experimental conditions (indicated by dots connected by a line) the different genera were observed. b Numbers of differentially abundant bacterial genera in diapausing compared to non-diapausing larvae. The majority of differentially abundant taxa decrease in abundance with prolonged larval diapause. c Heatmap showing the abundance of 52 bacterial genera throughout the experimental timecourse. Each genus was differentially abundant in at least one diapause condition compared to non-diapausing larvae. Coloured boxes preceding genus names indicate bacterial phylum and class. Differences in abundance are indicated by the z score of log CPM (counts per million) values. Rows are ordered based on abundance patterns using hierarchical clustering. Biological replicates per experimental condition were grouped together for readability. The full heatmap is provided in Supplementary Figure S3
