Fig. 8From: Diet and monensin influence the temporal dynamics of the rumen microbiome in stocker and finishing cattleNetwork analysis of the interactions between bacterial taxa at different growth stages. Network analysis of bacterial interactions was performed using the R package “psych”. The spearman correlations (r) were calculated to reveal the correlation between rumen bacteria at the ASV level with a correlation co-efficiency over 0.7 or less than −0.7 and P < 0.05. Then, Cytoscape software was used for visualization. The yellow circles represent the relative abundance of each bacterial ASV. The blue lines mean a negative correlation between bacterial ASVs, while the red lines represent a positive correlation.
