Similarity between Sphagnum-associated microbial communities from Sphagnum plants at St Regis Lake (NY) and Franklin Bog (VT). Community similarity is visualized by site and sex (A, C) and by site and genotype (B, D) with non-metric multidimensional scaling (NMDS) of β diversity indices estimated by (A, B) Bray–Curtis dissimilarity and (C, D) weighted UniFrac dissimilarity. Red, St Regis Lake; blue, Franklin Bog; circles, female Sphagnum plants; triangles, male Sphagnum plants; letters, samples sharing a genotype; asterisks, samples with unique genotypes.
