a Estimated sample completeness curves as a function of order q between 0 and 2. b Size-based rarefaction (solid lines) and extrapolation (dashed lines) curves up to double the respective sample size. c Asymptotic estimates of diversity profiles (solid lines) and empirical diversity profiles (dashed lines). d Coverage-based rarefaction (solid lines) and extrapolation (dashed lines) curves up to double the reference sample size. Vertical dashed lines show the standardised sample coverage Cmax = 96.6%. e Evenness profiles as a function of order q, 0 < q ≤ 2, based on the normalised slope of Hill numbers. Dots (P. crispa), triangles (P. oceanica holobiont), rectangles (P. oceanica leaves) and crosses (P. oceanica rhizomes) denote observed data points. All shaded areas in a–e denote 95% confidence intervals obtained from a bootstrap method with 500 replications. Note: some bands are invisible due to narrow width.
