Differences in the degradation capacity of various DFs, as indicated by the IFDP, across populations with different dietary habits. A A bar plot describing inulin degradation capacity (as indicated by the IFDP) in mice from different diet groups (the asterisk symbol indicates p<0.05). BD Volcano plots describing differences in degradation capacity of different DFs between B folivore and non-folivore primates, C Hadza tribe population in dry and wet seasons, and D two distinct Peruvian tribes. The X-axis represents the log fold change of the fiber degradation ability. p values are corrected for multiple hypotheses. The dashed line at ~−1.3 y-axis (−log10 of the p value) denotes the 0.05 p value significance threshold. Dietary fiber abbreviations: Inu, inulin; Lev, levan; BG, beta-glucan; Cel, cellulose; Xyl, xylan; GluM, glucomannan; GalM, galactomannan; Man, mannan; AX, arabinoxylan; Gal, galactan; Ara, arabinan; AG, arabinogalactan; Dex, dextran; Chi, chitin; RH, rhamnogalacturonan; Pec, pectin; Car, carrageenan; GalGluM, galactoglucomannan; Alg, alginate; Xan, xanthan; Xyl, xloglucan; Lam, laminaran; Gel, gellan; RS, resistant starch
