Figure 10: Phylogenetic signal of the inverse Simpson’s index (D).
From: Diversity, structure and convergent evolution of the global sponge microbiome
In this multi-gene phylogeny of host sponge species, 100% Bayesian posterior probabilities (PP) are indicated by black circles at internal nodes, while grey circles indicate 95–99% PP. Nodes with <95% PP are not labelled. Black circles at the tips of the phylogeny are sized in proportion to the mean value of D calculated for the symbiotic microbial community associated with each host species. Multiple clades of sponges contain either high (for example, Aplysina) or low (for example, Mycale) values of D.
