However, Bifidobacterium abundance was paradoxically increased, and Prevotella also exhibited an increasing trend ( Figures 3C , D , I ).
Excerpts
Cellulose content displayed a decreasing trend during decomposition, though inter-stage differences were not statistically significant.
Results Both bacterial and fungal communities exhibited significant biogeographic patterns, but only fungal Shannon-Wiener diversity showed a decreasing trend with increasing latitude.
The significant OTUs in the FS generally exhibited an increasing trend ( Figure 3f ), while those in the SS were predominantly characterized by a decreasing trend ( Figure 3g ).
Soil enzyme activity exerted the strongest direct positive effect on crop performance, reaching a highly significant level, making it the most crucial direct determinant of final crop performance.
The PERMANOVA results showed that R 2 = 0.068 with p = 0.083, indicating marginal significance, and ANOSIM demonstrated R 2 = 0.041 with p = 0.091. 3.5 Differential taxa and functional context Two-group comparisons ( Figure 11 ) revealed OTUs with varying abundance levels between groups.
This non-parametric test yielded a chi-squared statistic of χ 2 = 3.33 ( p = 0.068), indicating a nonsignificant trend toward higher gene discovery rates in Gram-negative species.
Both monoculture and co-culture groups showed a decreasing trend in gut microbial abundance and diversity over time.
(2022) showed that the α-diversity fluctuated significantly in the first 5 days of the hypoxic treatment, and then the α-diversity showed an increasing trend, and then gradually decreased after 4 weeks, and also showed a significant fluctuation in the first 5 days of the resumption of normoxic treatment, and then gradually increased, and then gradually increased after 4 weeks, and also fluctuated during the first 5 days after the return to normoxia.
Similarly, although less pronounced, g_Rothia also showed a trend toward differential abundance, further supporting the influence of sampling method on community structure.
The latest study also confirmed that alpha diversity (observed ASVs) showed a significant increase or an increasing trend across different parities, from gestation day 0 to day 110 ( Liu et al., 2025 ).
The consortia treatment exhibited a significant increase in overall physiological parameters compared to individual treatments and control groups, showing a highly significant difference.
Lactobacillus showed a decreasing trend, with a significant reduction observed only in the aged female HFHFD group ( Figure 2A ).
Differences were considered statistically significant at p < 0.05 and highly significant at p < 0.01. 3.
However, unlike in the farmed group, Firmicutes showed an increasing trend while Proteobacteria exhibited a decreasing trend in the wild group.
The antioxidant enzymes CAT and GSH in the liver showed a trend of being significantly higher in wild than farmed B. lenok , but in the intestine, CAT activity and MDA content were higher in farmed than wild B. lenok .
GO and KEGG enrichment analyses of these DEGs pointed to a highly significant involvement of the ‘MHC class II protein complex’ pathway and the ‘Neuroactive ligand-receptor interaction’ pathway ( Figures 6D , E ).
At the aerobic exposure period, the pH of all groups exhibited an increasing trend.
Differences in fecal hormones and SCFA levels associated with piglet birth weight in sows The HBW group exhibited significantly higher fecal concentrations of acetate ( p = 0.005), propionate ( p = 0.034), isobutyrate ( p = 0.007), and valerate ( p = 0.036) compared to the LBW group, and isovalerate ( p = 0.085) showed an increasing trend in the HBW group ( Table 4 ).
However, MSSI showed a trend of reducing nirK abundance across most N levels, suggesting potential mitigation of N fertilizer loss from cropland ecosystems.
Findings revealed little effect of the number of beetle guts, but highly significant effect of tree-to-tree spatial heterogeneity.
Concurrently, the expression of the melanin biosynthesis gene BUF1 exhibited a decreasing trend (downregulated by 38%).
Moreover, when soil salinity was below 1.92 dS m −1 , soil net ammonification showed a decreasing trend with increasing biochar pyrolysis temperature.
Two-way ANOVA results ( Table 3 ) indicated that both soil salinity and biochar type had highly significant effects on soil net ammonification across different incubation periods.
RT-qPCR results showed a significant induction of Cyp1b1 ( p < 0.05) and an increasing trend of Cyp1a1 in the ECD group ( Figures 7F , G ).
