Alpha diversity and beta diversity.
(a) Boxplots for alpha diversity metrics of Chao1 (species richness) and Shannon Diversity Index (species diversity). (b) Beta diversity metrics of unweighted UniFrac (community membership) and weighted UniFrac (community structure). The color in the heatmaps indicates the UniFrac distance between each pair of samples (see color key at the left). * denotes P < 0.1; ** denotes P < 0.05; *** denotes P < 0.01.
