Note: P < 0.05 indicates significantly difference.
FIGURE LEGENDS
FIGURE 1 Beta diversity difference in gut bacteria within sex. Principal coordinates analysis (PCoA) based on Bray-Curtis distances and Adonis test (with 999 permutations) to show differentiation in microbial structures of different sexes
FIGURE 2 Gut bacterial compositions at the level of phylum and genus. Taxa with less than 1% membership in samples of each group are grouped within “Others”
FIGURE 3 The gut bacterial composition and difference at the level of phylum and genus in sex. The difference based on Wilcoxon rank-sum test and a two-tailed P -value less than 0.05 was considered significant (with bootstrap values 95%). *: P < 0.05
FIGURE 4 LEfSe analysis for remarking the significantly abundant bacterial community. (a) Cladogram showing the relationship among taxa (from the inner to outer rings, phylum, class, order, family, and genus). (b) The bar plot showing the different taxa with a LDA score > 4, P < 0.05
FIGURE 5 Compared of predicted function of gut bacteria in Pardosa astrigera . The difference based on Independent sample t -test. *:P< 0.05
