Effects of host identity, phylogeny, and cophylogeny on bacterial families. Results are derived from co-phylogenetic GLMM analysis within prevalent bacterial families, and incorporate geographic area, bacterial and coral host identity, and bacterial and coral host phylogeny (see Methods and workflow in Fig. 1). Each block of rows corresponds to a factor in the model (main effects are not shown). Each row within a block corresponds to a tissue compartment (teal = mucus, orange = tissue, and purple = skeleton; see coral polyp illustration), while each column corresponds to an independent model fit for the specified microbial group. Dots were plotted only for ‘significant’ factors (ICC lower bound > 0.01). The size of each dot represents the intra-class correlation coefficient (ICC) 95% credible lower bounds from co-phylogenetic linear model analysis. While coral host identity is associated with bacterial phylogeny for most prevalent bacterial families (top block of rows), only 4 bacterial families show co-phylogeny with corals (middle block of rows)
