Note: P < 0.05 indicates significantly difference.

FIGURE 1 Beta diversity difference in gut bacteria within sex. Principal
coordinates analysis (PCoA) based on Bray-Curtis distances and Adonis
test (with 999 permutations) to show differentiation in microbial
structures of different sexes
FIGURE 2
Gut
bacterial compositions at the level of
phylum
and genus. Taxa with less than 1% membership in samples of each group
are grouped within “Others”
FIGURE 3 The gut bacterial composition and difference at the level of
phylum and genus in sex. The difference based on Wilcoxon rank-sum test
and a two-tailed P -value less than 0.05 was considered
significant (with bootstrap values 95%). *: P < 0.05
FIGURE 4 LEfSe analysis for remarking the significantly abundant
bacterial community. (a) Cladogram showing the relationship among taxa
(from the inner to outer rings, phylum, class, order, family, and
genus). (b) The bar plot showing the different taxa with a LDA score
> 4, P < 0.05
FIGURE 5 Compared of predicted function of gut bacteria in Pardosa
astrigera . The difference based on Independent sample t -test. *:P< 0.05
