Fig. 2

Principal coordinate analysis (PCoA) ordinations of internal and cuticle surface microbiota from F1 laboratory-colonized An. albimanus. The PCoA plots are based on Bray–Curtis distances between the microbiota of mosquitoes with differing collection sites. Each point on the plot represents the microbial composition of a pool of three individuals, and mosquito pools are color-coded by their origin. For larvae, the first two principal component (PC) axes captured 50% (internal) and 48% (cuticle surface) of the variance in the data, with both internal and cuticle surface microbiota clustering distinctly by collection site. For adults, the first two PC axes captured 59% (internal) and 47% (cuticle surface) of the variance in the data, with cuticle surface but not internal microbiota clustering distinctly by collection site. PERMANOVA statistics are presented at the bottom of each plot
