Temporal patterns of alpha diversity in response to the Bacillus invasions
(A, C, and E) invaded by B. mycoides M2E15 and (B, D, and F) invaded by B. pumilus ECO-B-02 across diversity treatments (10−1, 10−3, 10−6). The changes in diversity were observed for 3 metrics: Species richness (A and B), represented by the number of ASVs; Faith Phylogenetic diversity (C and D); and species evenness (E and F), based on the Shannon index. Bars represent the standard error of the mean. Full symbols represent the average, whereas the light symbols indicate the values per replicate.
