Venn diagram of 100% core microbiome in Amphistegina lobifera. Boxplots indicate the bacterial phylum/class and respective relative abundance (mean ± 95% C.I.) of the bacterial taxa identified in each core. Number in brackets represents the relative contribution of core operational taxonomy units (OTUs) in relation to the total number of OTUs identified in each population of A. lobifera. a Inner-, mid- and outer-shelf core microbiome. b Inner and mid-shelf core microbiome. c Mid-shelf core microbiome. d Mid- and outer-shelf core microbiome. e Outer-shelf core microbiome. (f) Inner- and outer-shelf core microbiome. g Inner-shelf core microbiome
