From: Gut microbiota modulation enhances the immune capacity of lizards under climate warming
Effects of climate warming on gut microbiota of lizards. P represents present climate. W represents warming climate. The significance of warming effects was evaluated by a two-sided Wilcoxon rank sum test. The significance of non-metric multidimensional scaling (NMDS) analysis was evaluated by PERMANOVA with 1000 permutations. a–c The alpha diversity index (observed features) of lizard gut microbiota at 2 months (a), 13 months (b), and 27 months (c). d–f NMDS plot based on unweighted UniFrac distances of lizard gut microbiota at 2 months (d), 13 months (e), and 27 months (f). g The functional profiles of gut microbiota identified by PICRUSt2 using KEGG database in the 27-month group of lizards. h Biomarkers of discriminative bacteria identified by LEfSe analysis (LDA score ≥ 3.2) in the 27-month group of lizards
