Shade plot representing the variation of bacterial phylum composition and relative OTUs abundance in T. mismalolli among life stages and seawater samples. The color scale (0–15) indicates the percentage of total reads assigned to a particular bacterial Phylum. Codes: adult sponges (AD), brooding larvae (BL), early free-swimming larvae collected inshore (LIS), pelagic swimming larvae collected offshore to 1 km (LO1), and to 3 km (LO3), seawater samples collected inshore (WIS) and offshore (WOS). The x-axis shows triplicate samples of each life stage and seawater samples.
