Fig. 3. The α-diversity and β-diversity of fecal microbiomes from the repeated WAS exposed rats. The α-diversity index chao1 (A), which reflects species richness and another α-diversity index Shannon (B), which reflects species evenness. β-Diversity, derived from generalized UniFrac distance, assessed through principal coordinates analysis (PCoA) (C). CON, control; WAS, water avoidance stress; PC, principal component.
