FIGURE 7.

(a) Number of bat guano ASVs assigned taxonomic information at Order through Species rank for each classifier. A total of 13,407 ASVs were included in the guano dataset for potential classification. (b) Taxonomic names shared among classifiers for guano data. Vertical bars represent the number of taxonomic names matching to a given set of classifiers; each subpanel represents the taxonomic level a name is evaluated at. The particular classifiers included in a set is indicated by the shaded dots in the bottom panel. For instance, the leftmost set (all five shaded dots shaded) represents instances in which all five classifiers agree for a particular taxonomic name. The second (from left) vertical set has all except the “bold” classifier shaded, indicating the number of instances in which the four nonbold classifiers agreed on a taxonomic name that bold either lacked. Highlighted groups represent instances where set values were at least 3% of all unique taxonomic names, thus all other sets possible but not shown contained relatively few overlaps
