Latitudinal trends in the richness of focal bacterial groups encountered by honey bees. Shown are the number of ZOTUs recovered per honey sample for bacterial families (coloured circles). Black lines indicate fits of models relating ZOTU richness in the focal family to absolute latitude and the log number of reads in the sample. For simplicity, we show results for the mean number of reads per sample, across all samples which included the focal family). Dashed lines indicate non-significant trends. For the effect of absolute latitude in each model, we provide pseudo-F and p-values as insets. These values were derived from anova tests
