Interestingly, there is an increasing trend of proportions of homogeneous selection across F1-F5 generations (F1: 2.53%, F2: 0.77%, F3: 3.14%, F4: 10.00%, and F5: 16.79%) and variable selection (F1: 13.67%, F2: 7.18%, F3: 28.95%, F4: 23.33%, and F5: 7.31%), alongside a decreasing trend in dispersal limitation (F1: 54.12%, F2: 24.87%, F3: 34.26%, F4: 4.29%, and F5: 8.08%) in the gut bacterial communities of snail offspring across the F1-F5 generations.
