Fig. 1From: The development of lower respiratory tract microbiome in miceSimpson diversity for all 72 samples representing the developmental weeks. Early developmental weeks (1–4) have lower diversity than later stages (Pearson chi-squared; p < 0.01). The increase in diversity from week 5 can be clearly visualized from the box plots that display the following values: lower whisker, minimum; lower box border, first quartile; middle box line, median; upper box border, third quartile; and upper whisker, maximum. The dots represent the outlier valuesBack to article page
