The overall microbiome diversity. a, b, and c are non-metric dimensional scaling (NMDS) plots visualize the overall microbiome dissimilarities (beta-diversity) between individual rat across time. a All samples from SD dams (pink) and pups (green) of three treatment groups; b All samples from SD dam rats only. Colors indicate sample collection timepoint. BM: before mating; GD 5: gestation day 5; GD 13: gestation day 13; LD 7: lactation day 7; and LD 14: lactation day 14. c All samples from SD pup rats only. Colors indicate sample collection timepoint. PND 7 to PND 125: postnatal day 7 to postnatal day 125. d Box plots show the mean and variance of the within-community diversity (alpha-diversity) measured by Shannon index in three treatment groups across all time of collections
