  1. The column “total” shows how many individual OTUs belong to a particular group. Column “D” shows the number of OTUs being part of the top 20% of the centrality rank based on degree centrality and column “D_P” shows whether it is significant according to a hypergeometric test. We also show the same results based on betweenness centrality (B, B_P) as well as the degree-based results for the top 10% and 5% of the centrality rank (significant values always shaded). This network is composed of 1254 OTUs so the top 20% means 251 OTUs. Among them, there are 14 Oscillospora OTUs out of the 51 total Oscillospora OTUs, this is not significant. In the top 5% we only have 63 OTUs and the 5 Oscillospora OTUs in this top 5% is already significantly over-represented compared to random. Note that Dorea is technically speaking significant (1 out of 1 OTU in top 20%) but this should be considered with care. Similar results for other body parts are shown in Supplementary Material A.
