Convergence of gut microbiota of sympatric chimpanzees and gorillas. Horizontal bars show average pairwise binary Bray-Curtis dissimilarities between the gut microbiota of individuals from pairs of host populations. Bars are shaded to represent the hosts being compared (black, Gorilla; gray, Pan), with striped bars representing comparisons between Gorilla and Pan, labeled to reflect whether they live sympatrically or allopatrically. Asterisks denote level of statistical significance; Bonferroni-corrected P < 0.01.
