a, Relative abundances of the ten most abundant bacterial and fungal taxa among mucilage of D. spatulata (n = 44) and surrounding plants (moss, n = 24, and vascular plants, n = 24), highlighting A. crateriforme as the dominant species in the mucilage. Unpaired t-test was conducted (two sided, *P < 0.05; **P < 0.01; ***P < 0.001; ****P < 0.0001). The centre line represents the median, and the upper and lower bounds of the box represent the 25th and 75th percentiles, respectively. The whiskers extend to 1.5 times the i.q.r. b, Temporal variation of Acrodontium and the next four most abundant OTUs shown as relative abundance in mucilage over 9 months (n = 4) between 2018 and 2019 pooled from Shumei and Shuangxi in northern Taiwan (Supplementary Fig. 2). Data are presented as mean ± s.d. c, Relative abundance of A. crateriforme identified from ITS amplicons from mucilage or tissues of four Drosera species sampled across northern Taiwan, North America and the United Kingdom.
