Fig. 1

Heat map of plant response to ectomycorrhizal (EM) fungi across 190 combinations of EM plants and fungi (marked with bubbles). Bubble size indicates deviation of mean percent plant biomass response to EM fungi from the overall average of 80.3 (±27.1 SE) (blue above average, red below average), illustrating the effect of the plant phylogeny × fungal phylogeny interaction. Bars (plants right, fungi bottom) are marginal means across the bubble values. Node labels on the plant phylogeny indicate six independent evolutionary origins of EM symbiosis, with bubbles indicating magnitudes of lineage deviations from the overall mean (illustrating the effect of plant origin)
