Fig. 6

Network analyses of pig microbiomes based on dietary treatment group. (a) Network analyses constructed from coabundance matrices are displayed for each dietary treatment group at d 21 and d 42 post-weaning. Each node represents one taxon at the ASV level, with darker shading corresponding to higher degree. Larger node sizes represent decreased amounts of ASPL, and node shapes represent relative levels of stress. Edges represent the undirected interaction or correlation between two nodes. Boxplots display network attributes of networks constructed for nursery pig gut microbiomes for each dietary treatment d 21 and d 42 post-weaning. Network attributes include (b) number of significant interactions (R > 0.5 and FDR-adjusted P-values < 0.05), (c) degree, (d) stress, and (e) Average Shortest Path Length (ASPL). Plots in the left column indicate networks or network attributes at d 21 post-weaning, and plots in the right column indicate the same at d 42 post-weaning throughout the figure
