Family-level differences and differentially abundant genera in the pouch microbiota of successful vs. unsuccessful breeding koalas during early lactation. A Displays relative abundance bar plot of EL samples grouped by breeding status at the family level. B Differentially abundant ASVs (FDR-adj p < 0.05) in successful and unsuccessful breeder EL samples were identified using pairwise analysis in DeSeq2 (v3.14). ASVs were assigned taxonomy at the genus (y-axis) and family (as per bar plot legend) level, with each point representing individual ASVs within genera. The x-axis shows the ‘log2 fold change’ in taxa between groups, with negative values representing higher abundance in successful breeders and positive values representing higher abundance in unsuccessful breeders. Visualisation was performed using QIIME2 (v2021.4) and ggplot2 (v3.3.5). Raw data presented in Supplementary Tables 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10 and 11
