Principle co-ordinates analysis (PCoA) of the rabbit fecal microbiota based on the Jaccard Index. a blue circles = commercial meat rabbits, red circles = companion rabbits, yellow circles = laboratory rabbits, green circles = shelter rabbits; b) blue circles = does, red circles = fryers; c) blue circles = winter, red circles = summer; d) blue circles = routine antimicrobial use, red circles = no routine use of antimicrobials. Clustering of markers within a plot indicates similarity in microbiota community membership. Significant differences are present between rabbit sources and between seasons, but not between ages and antimicrobial use statuses
