Quality assessment statistics for the initial (top) and final (bottom panels) de novo transcriptome assemblies. The vertical dashed lines indicate the mean completeness levels (single-copy + duplicated) in the BUSCO panels, and the mean read support across all assemblies in the Bowtie2 panels. Initial and final refer to the status of the assemblies prior to – and after – an assembly optimization process. Phylum affiliations are indicated in parentheses after the species name. Phylum abbreviations: Ar - Arthropoda, An - Annelida, Ph - Phoronida, Ch - Chordata, Ec - Echinodermata, Cn - Cnidaria.
