Boxplots comparing alpha diversity as measured by species richness across (A) individuals and (B) age classes and Shannon diversity across (C) individuals and (D) age classes for n = 8 female southern white rhinoceros (Ceratotherium simum simum) at the North Carolina Zoo in 2020–2021. (A) and (C) include samples from both seasons, while (B) and (D) include only samples collected during winter. Error bars represent SEM. Different letters indicate significant differences between age classes (p < 0.05)
