Effects for soil pollutant in stability of microbial networks of soil invertebrate gut. Principal coordinate analysis (PCoA) of the 17 independent experiments with 415 gut samples (193 control and 222 treated), including 17 kinds of soil pollutants (Data set S1) using Bray-Curtis dissimilarity performed on OTU data from the control and treated microbial communities (A). R2 and P values were determined using Adonis analysis. Shannon index for the gut mirobial communities in the control and treated groups (B). P values were determined using two-tailed Welch’s t tests. Negative:positive cohesion (calculated using the formula in (28)) in the whole (C) and Gammaproteobacteria-associated communities (D) networks with and without soil pollution, indicating that the treated groups formed a more stable community network than the control as shown in the schematic diagram (E)
