Overview of the vertical transmission of the gut microbiota among wild-caught and laboratory-bred individuals among gastropod lineages. a Overview of vertical shifts of gut microbes in gastropods. b Percentage of OTUs transmitted to offspring snails. For example, the left frame shows that 37.7% of total OTUs from wild snails can be transmitted to the F1 generation population. c–d The number and proportion of OTUs are shared or unique to sample types, compared with cultured BSlab snails. e Percentage of OTUs among populations that can be traced to maternal snails. f–g The number and proportion of OTUs are shared or unique to sample types, compared with wild-caught snails. h Percentage of OTUs shared with wild snails. i Sankey diagram showing the core microbes among populations. j Ridgeline chart showing the distribution shifts among the top gut microbes in gastropods over generations. Cultured snails refer to the laboratory snails cultured under laboratory conditions
