Fig. 3

A Random Forest classification of the Globothalamea MOTUs as either planktonic or benthic. B Phylogenetic placement of the MOTUs on the Globothalamea tree. The main clades of benthic foraminifera are delimited on the tree. The size of the circles represent the number of potential MOTUs affiliated with a branch. Note that the genera Ammonia and Bolivina are branching out of their home clades (Serioidea and Rotalioidea). Rot X = Rotaliida X, Plan. = Planorbulinoidea, Calc. = Calcarinoidea, Nummulit. = Nummulitoidea, Glab. = Glabratelloidea. The data used to produce the figure are provided in Supplementary Data 2 for panel A and Supplementary Data 3 for panel B.
