Figure 4

Skin microbiome composition of N. adenopleura at the tadpole (n = 18) and adult (n = 13) life stages caught at the same time in the same location and habitat. Only ASVs occurring in at least 3 different samples are visualized in the network. The size of each node corresponds to the mean relative abundance of an ASV in the considered samples, while the colour indicates the ASV’s taxonomic affiliation. The node size corresponds to ~ 4% for the largest circles to ~ 0.001% of the smallest ones (i.e. larger nodes are shared and smaller are unique but also highly variable among individuals). The Venn diagram shows the size of the unique and shared node sets.
