Temporal dynamics of microbiota richness and alpha diversity. Association between microbiota richness measured with Observed taxa and age analysed with general linear models. (a) Oesophagus. (b) Proventriculus. (c) Cecum. (d) Colon. Association between microbial alpha diversity measured with Shannon index and age analysed with general linear models. (e) Oesophagus. (f) Crop. (g) Gizzard. (h) Cecum. Figures also show false discovery rate (FDR) adjusted P-value, coefficient of relationship and number of samples
