Relative abundance of taxa in fresh, aged, and conditioned substrates and each sampling time point. a Average relative abundance of the bacterial communities of fresh larval media (week 0) and aged and conditioned substrates at weeks 2, 4, 6, and 9. b Bacterial relative abundance in individual replicates of fresh larval media (week 0) and aged and conditioned substrates at different time points (weeks 2, 4, 6, and 9). Each bar represents an individual sample. Colors represent the relative abundance of each taxon. c Relative abundance heatmap of taxa found in fresh, aged, and conditioned substrates at each time point. Taxa present in less than 1% total relative abundance were combined and are listed as “others.” See Additional file 1: Dataset S1 for full relative abundance data
