a

The proportion of trees in which the group is monophyletic.

b

The proportion of the members of the given group that are present in the tree and contained within the smallest clade containing all members of the group (and members of other groups); ngroup/nclade, where ngroup is the number of members of the group in the clade and nclade is the number of OTUs in that clade. Value shown is the mean across all trees.

c

The proportion of the members of the given group that are present in the tree and contained within the group’s largest monophyletic clade; ngroup{clade}/ngroup{tree}, where ngroup{clade} is the number of members of the group in the clade and ngroup{tree} is the number of group members in the tree. Value shown is the mean across all trees.

d

Designates a grouping of Nanoarchaea, Thaumarchaea, and Korarchaeota lumped together, the individual samples of which are either one or too small to consider monophyly.
