Fig. 8 in Host biology, ecology and the environment influence microbial biomass and diversity in 101 marine fish species

Fig. 8 | Total microbial diversity across vertebrate hindguts and within multi- plebodysites of fish. a Hindgutmicrobiotasamplesfrom 569 speciesof vertebrates were rarified to 5000 reads and unique or shared ASVs determined for each class. b The percentage of unique ASVs only found in a given class (not shared in other classes) as compared to the total ASVs within that class. c Rarefaction of cumulative gamma diversity as a function of unique vertebrate species. Included is a single fish species, S. japonicus, sampled over 3 years "black dots" and the unrarefied FMP samples which had detectable bacteria in all four body sites (gill, skin, midgut, and hindgut).d Gammadiversity of 68 fishspeciesacrossfour bodysites.e Percentageof unique ASVs associatedwitha given bodysiteacrossthe 68 fish species.f Rarefaction curve of increasing gamma diversity (inclusive of four body sites) as a function of increasing fish species.
