Effect of significant predictors of reduced Model R explaining variation in the Firmicutes to Bacteroidota ratio (F:B) of offspring’s gut bacteria during the rich season. Panel A shows the effect of prenatal maternal GCs during the first half of gestation moderated by offspring’s age (Early-preGC*Age). Panel B shows the effect of postnatal maternal GCs moderated by offspring’s age (PostGC*Age). Panel C shows the effect of prenatal maternal GCs during the second half of gestation (Late-preGC). Panel D shows the effect of offspring GCs moderated by offspring’s age (OffspringGC*Age). The moderator Age is plotted at its mean and ± SD values (4.7 ± 2.4). Results on predictors shown in panels A and C corroborate the overall negative effect of prenatal maternal GCs on offspring F:B. The model response F:B is logn-transformed to meet model requirements and the predictors Early-PreGC, Late-PreGC, PostGC, and OffspringGC are logn-transformed and then z-transformed with mean = 0 and SD = 1 to meet model requirements and to increase model interpretability. Each panel is plotted with all other model predictors at their average value
