Beta diversity of the core MAGs in 208 feces samples of individual cattle, for which we had information about diet and collection time. The ordination is based on a principal coordinate analysis (PCoA) of Euclidean distances among the CLR-transformed values of the MAG compositional matrix. Samples are distinguished by diet (color coding) and study (shapes). The two subsets used for formal statistical comparisons are presented with filled circles and highlighted by black squares and light gray background. Vectors show the top 100 most influential features driving the differences and are color coded (bacterial class). Vector transparency is negatively related to the contribution of vectors
