Figure 2

T-RFLP analysis of fecal samples from research colony dogs. Panel (a) community composition expressed as % area of peaks under the T-RFLP electropherogram; bacterial groups were combined at the taxonomic level of order. Panel (b) dendrogram based on Bray-Curtis similarities of community composition among the five dogs; numbers at nodes indicate percentage of trees having an equivalent node in jackknife analysis. Panel (c) community richness parameter, Rr. Panel (d) community functional organization, Fo.
