Fig. 2: Alpha and beta diversity plots of the microbiomes of the four sponge species and the surrounding seawater.

From: High microbiome and metabolome diversification in coexisting sponges with different bio-ecological traits

Fig. 2

A Average number of ASVs per sample versus total ASVs across all samples. B Bacterial diversity (as Shannon index) across the different sponge species. PCoA and nMDS (2D stress = 0.085) of beta diversity ordinations based on Bray–Curtis (C) and Jaccard resemblances (D). Ellipses represent 95% confidence interval. Observed ASVs boxplots are reported in Fig. S6.
