Figure 6
Total eukaryotic microalgae detected in environmental DNA (eDNA) extracted from 27 samples collected at the tropical site using metabarcoding from the 18S rDNA V4 and V9 regions analysed at the Order level. Each pie slice represents eukaryotic microalgal high-level taxonomic groups, including dinoflagellates, chlorophytes, haptophytes, pennate diatoms, radial centric diatoms, polar centric diatoms, and other eukaryotic microalgae. External nodes represent microalgal orders in each group and the outer circle notes Families detected within each high-level taxonomic group.
