Summary of Symbiodinium diversity in Pocillopora damicornis (a) and Stylophora pistillata (b) from four collection periods spanning May 2010 to September 2012. Pie charts represent the mean relative abundances of Symbiodinium types across all sampled colonies detected at each time point. Types that are dominant at any of the time points are represented in orange, brown or yellow; and types belonging to the rare biosphere throughout the sampling period are represented in grey. Bar graphs represent the abundances (expressed in number of sequencing reads) of Symbiodinium types in the rare biosphere only; and black stars represent a switching event. A switching event was deemed to occur when, during any one sampling a type was detected among multiple samples, but was absent from previous sampling times among any sample. Note that only the most abundant types and the ones that shuffled or switched are shown in this figure. See Supplementary Figures S1 and S2 for the complete figure of all the Symbiodinium background types detected for each period of time.
