Extended Data Fig. 2: Observed number of ASVs in host-associated and environmental microbial communities.
From: Microbiomes of microscopic marine invertebrates do not reveal signatures of phylosymbiosis
Bacterial richness, expressed as ASV counts, of the microbial communities, grouped according to: a, host phylum; b, host order within the phylum Annelida and Nematoda; c, location (for both animal-associated and environmental data); and d, habitat (for both animal-associated and environmental data). The dashed box in a separates phyla with less than five sampled specimens each. Microbial community Shannon-diversity (Fig. 2) and ASV numbers are considerably higher in environmental communities than in invertebrate hosts.
