Natural microbiota in <i>N</i>. <i>vectensis</i> vary according to season.

<p>(A) PCoA (based on Jaccard metric, sampling depth = 5,000) illustrating similarity of bacterial communities based on sampling month; (B) alpha-diversity comparisons between sampling months (max rarefaction depth = 5,000, num. steps = 10), differences were tested through Kruskal–Wallis test (not significant); (C) relative abundance of main bacterial groups among different sampling months. Underlying data can be found in <a href="http://www.plosbiology.org/article/info:doi/10.1371/journal.pbio.3001726#pbio.3001726.s011" target="_blank">S1 Data</a>.</p>
