Results of metabarcoding analyses. (A) Box plot and jitter plot showing the DNA concentration in the sediment extract at all depths. (B) Proportions of planktonic and benthic foraminifera reads observed in the metabarcodes. (C) Relative proportions of reads assigned to individual species of planktonic foraminifera detected in the metabarcoding dataset. The graphs were generated with R55 using the ggplot2 package59.
