Extended Data Fig. 3

The Fisher’s alpha diversity index, the Chao1 estimated richness, and the observed richness were significantly different across the 11 3-month age groups as analysed by the non-parametric Kruskal-Wallis test. Data were tested for normality using the Anderson-Darling and the D’Agostino & Pearson test in Prism 9 for macOS and were non-normally distributed. The Simpson’s index was only significantly different in the day 1 dataset. Data were considered to be statistically significant with a confidence level of 95%. Data were plotted using the Scatter dot plot function in Prism 9 for macOS with a line drawn at the mean with error bars extending to the standard deviation. In the day 1 dataset there were 520 samples, in the day 15 dataset there were 412 samples, in the day 85 dataset there were 457 samples.
