Fungal community composition in disks pre-colonised with different species, determined by pyrosequencing. (a) Non-metric multidimensional scaling (NMDS) plot (stress score 0.265) of fungal OTU (operational taxonomic units) composition based on the Bray–Curtis metric of dissimilarity, using all data. (b) NMDS plot (stress score 0.243) of fungal OTUs identified as ascomycetes (co-coloniser community; not known to have lignocellulolytic ability). (c) NMDS plot (stress score 0.149) of fungal OTUs identified as wood-decay basidiomycetes (decomposer community); samples containing <5% basidiomycete OTUs were excluded from the analysis. Points represent individual samples and ellipses indicate treatment (that is, pre-colonised by a particular species) means with 95% confidence intervals fitted onto the spatial ordination. Where ellipses are absent, insufficient sample numbers were present. See Table 1 for species name abbreviations.
