Diversity indexes Chao, Shannon and Phylogenic for the host–microbiome of Daphnia, the damselfly larvae and the dragonfly larvae. The aquatic invertebrates were exposed to microplastics (MPs), deltamethrin (DMT) or a combination of both. The animals not exposed to either MPD or DMT were the control group. Significant differences between treatments were tested using post-hoc Tukey tests (***: p-value < 0.001; **: 0.001 < p-value < 0.01; *: p-value < 0.05; •: 0.05 < p-value < 0.09)
