Dendrogram of the rabbit fecal microbiota community structure based on the Yue and Clayton Index of Dissimilarity. Blue = commercial rabbits, red = companion rabbits, yellow = laboratory rabbits, green = shelter rabbits. Clustering of lines indicates similarity in microbiota community structure. Significant differences are present between commercial meat rabbits and all other sources. The top cluster delineated by the vertical black line indicates clustering of samples collected from commercial meat rabbits during the winter months while the clusters indicated by the lower vertical black lines indicate clustering of samples collected from commercial meat rabbits during the summer months
