OTU abundance of polychaete feeding guilds in the different treatments in relation to the Controls: Low Shade (a) and Unvegetated (b). The x-axis shows the log2 fold changes of the four different nematode feeding types (y-axis) calculated by the DESeq2 adjusted base mean (see Methods). A log2 fold change of > 0 (green) indicates that abundance was higher in the Controls than in the respective manipulated treatment, while a log2 fold change of < 0 (red) indicates that abundance was lower in the Controls than in the respective manipulated treatment. Asterisks denote cases when differences were statistically significant (p(DESeq2) < 0.05) and error bars represent SE, n = 4 biologically independent samples. No other differences were detected between CTRL and the remaining manipulated seagrass treatments
