Principal component analysis of gut microbiome composition. Representation of first (PC1) and second principal component (PC2) of the additive log-ratio transformation of the relevant variables for distinguishing between resilient and non-resilient populations. SD indicates the unit of standard deviations of each variable from the posterior mean of the differences between the marginal posterior distributions of the rabbit populations. The SD colour gradient highlights the degree of difference, blue and red being the greatest differences among the rabbit populations. The blue-shaded area indicates that higher microbiome abundance in the non-resilient population. The red-shaded area indicates higher microbiome abundance in the resilient population. SCP, proteins involved in signalling and cellular processing; ABC transp., proteins of the family ABC transporter; quorum s., proteins involved in quorum sensing. PilB, PilC, PilM, and PilT proteins that conform the pilus
