An additional analysis compared fruit-eating (n = 17) and non\u2013fruit-eating bearded dragons (25). Following dentition assessment, all oral quadrants were sampled at 1 time point for DNA extraction via next-generation sequencing targeting bacterial 16S rRNA and fungal internal transcribed spacer 2 regions. The \u03b1- and \u03b2-diversity, taxonomic abundance, core microbiota analysis, and linear discriminant effect size analyses were compared between groups.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec id=\"sc_a3\">\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>\n                      The oral microbiota comprised 1,317 and 163 fungal species.
