a The heatmap indicates fungal community differences as the average of Bray-Curtis distances of 1000 community matrices, repeatedly rarefied to the minimum sampling depth (2056 reads) in the upper left and phylogenetic distance calculated from branch lengths of the maximum clade credibility tree generated from a sample of 100 topologies downloaded from birdtree.org in the lower right. Color scales for Bray-Curtis and phylogenetic distances are indicated by the x-axes of (d, e). b A tanglegram shows correspondence (dashed lines) between the phylogenetic tree and dendrogram generated from Bray Curtis distances. c A maximum clade credibility tree pruned to match host taxa in our dataset. d A histogram showing distribution of Bray-Curtis distances. e A histogram showing the distribution of phylogenetic distance.
