Nematode species richness accumulation curve (A) and Coleman rarefaction curve (B) based on 1000 randomizations using Estimate 9.1.0. The black broken line (- -) represents the upper 95% confidence level, and the broken dotted broken line (- ⋅ -) represents the lower 95% confidence level of the species accumulation curve (A). Upper and lower Coleman standard deviations are represented by solid black lines (B). Data obtained from stomach flushing or necropsy of American alligators from Florida and Georgia between 2008 and 2011. The rapid approach to the asymptote suggests we captured all possible species of alligator nematodes.
