Fig 3. EQR scores.

Fig 3

Comparison for the EQR score calculated on morphological data versus the score calculated on DNA data for (A) the pooled and (B) the sorted and separately sequenced samples. Both showed a moderate correlation between the scores (Pearson correlation, p = 0.002 and 0.005, respectively). Better correlations were found when only replacing one of six taxon groups with molecular data (on the y-axis): (C) Annelida, (D) Crustacea, (E) Heteroptera and Coleoptera, (F) Mollusca, (G) Chironomidae and other Diptera and (H) Trichoptera, Odonata, and Ephemeroptera (black circles, Pearson correlation values provided in the panels, p < 0.001 for all groups). To assess the influence of each of the respective groups on the EQR score, the original scores (x-axis) were also compared to EQR scores where one taxon group was completely removed (y-axis) from the taxon list before the analysis (C-H, red triangles, Pearson correlation values provided in the panels, p < 0.001 for all groups).
