Key Technical Outputs & Statistics

• Co-occurrence Network Diagrams: Map complex microbial ecosystems, scaled by node connectivity and color-coded by specific metabolic and functional roles.

• Violin & Trend Line Plots: Display distribution variance and alpha diversity shifts over time, verified using Levene’s test for homogeneity.

• Ordination Plots (PCoA/PCA): Illustrate beta-diversity community clustering, supported mathematically by PERMANOVA and ANOSIM significance testing.

• GLM Regressions & Pearson Heatmaps: Model relationships and track linear correlations between continuous physiological metrics (like volatile fatty acids) and diversity indices.

• ANCOM-BC2 Volcano Plots: Pinpoint differentially abundant species by plotting log fold-changes directly against significance thresholds.

Key Technical Outputs & Statistics

• Spearman Correlation Heatmaps: Visualize co-occurrence patterns, identifying significant relationships between microbial taxa and antimicrobial resistance genes.

• Relative Abundance Boxplots: Standardized grids with statistical significance indicators tracking precise treatment shifts across bacterial genera.

• Non-Parametric Testing: Integrated rank-based statistics to handle high-dimensional, non-normally distributed metagenomic counts.
