Figure 3

The expected (based on number of individuals) and observed (based on sequencing reads) relative abundance of each species in each mock community pool. Acizzia alternata and A. solanicola are aggregated for display purposes as these species could not be differentiated by the 18S loci. Observed relative abundance data is shown for the mean across the three loci, and for COI, 18S, and 12S separately. False positive and negative genera are indicated in each pool based on a detection threshold of 0.01%. Asterisks (*) indicate pools that had all species correctly identified.
