R analysis scripts studying bacterial communities in arboreal ant nests. Scripts are linked to the paper titled "Bacterial diversity in arboreal ant nesting spaces is linked to colony developmental stage"
The raw sequencing reads and meta data are deposited in the NCBI Short Read Archive under the BioProject accession number PRJNA777006
The ASV count table also includes metadata and representative sequences.
Shannon indices can be found in this file, repreentign the source data behind the alpha diversity plots. Defferent sheets represent different Figures.
