Bacterial community diversity in the pouch microbiota of captive koalas. Alpha- and beta-diversity metrics were calculated on a feature table rarefied to 1000 reads per sample. Alpha-diversity metrics included A Shannon diversity and B observed species (or ASVs), with Kruskal–Wallis testing performed to identify significant differences between groups. Beta diversity is presented as weighted UniFrac distances, with ordination performed via principal coordinates analysis (PCoA). C Displays ordination on a 2-dimensional PCoA plot with PC1 and PC2, while D displays data plotted to PC1 and PC3. *P < 0.05; **P < 0.01; ***P < 0.001; ****P < 0.00001
