Principal coordinate analyses (PCoA) of unweighted UniFrac metrics based on 97% operational taxonomic units (OTUs) (A) or unique sequences (B) showing the separation in the phylogenetic signatures of the microbiotas harboured by attine ants (filled circles) and Megalomyrmex ants (open circles). Solid lines (for attine ants) and dashed lines (for Megalomyrmex ants) connect individual samples to group centroids. Colour‐coded versions of these plots are given as Fig. S2 (Supporting information), allowing direct comparisons between hosts, parasites and free‐living predators as three categories, and between associated hosts and parasites and free‐living Megalomyrmex as six categories.
