Figure 5.

Mean proportion of reads assigned to each operational taxonomic unit (OTU) across different carcass and beetle treatments. Each row corresponds to a different OTU, classified to genus level whenever possible. OTUs with the same classification were not pooled because different OTUs may show different patterns of abundance across treatments. Mean proportions between 0% and 1% were depicted in black, for the remaining values a colour scale was used (see legend) with light yellow indicating low proportions and red indicating high proportions
