Hello everyone,

I have a theoretical questions: which would be the best analysis to highlight which bacteria species have the greatest variability in relative abundance using longitudinal data? I have found several tutorial but nothing that identify (with a statistical significane) which are the bacteria species that change more their abundance across different samples on longitudinal data? I have a dataset with several replicates belonging to different time point, I would like to understand which are the species that have the deepest changes in their abundance across all the time points. Does anyone have any suggestions about? thanks

I think the "everything is everywhere but the environment selects" hypothesis describes bacterial biogeography rather well. In addition, I don't believe that bacterial species really even exist..
