Individual bacterial taxa are represented by dots. The solid line represents the neutral community expectations with the 95% confidence interval (gray area bordered by the dotted lines). In A the comparison of the algal samples and in B the comparison of the mature worm-derived samples is given. Points found to the left of the confidence interval represent bacterial taxa that are found in more samples than expected, but with lower abundances, whereas those found to the right of the confidence interval represent bacterial taxa that are found in fewer samples than expected, but there at high abundances.
