Figure 1. Taxonomic composition at phylum-level of wild cichlid gut microbiotas.

Figure 1

Bars show proportions of taxa per cichlid species as average across conspecifics, estimated from the rarefied OTU table (13730 reads). “Others” groups all phyla with relative abundance below 1% over the total number of reads. Approximate diet categories are shown below species names: SC: scale-eaters; C: carnivores: P: planktivores; O: omnivores; H: herbivores; I: insect-eaters (see Supplementary Table 1 and Information for diet details). Within each lake, sampling was done in close areas and in a few-days time (less than a month) to minimize the effect of geographical and seasonal variables. Species names abbreviations: Plestr: Plecodus straeleni; Lamlem: Lamprologus lemairii; Lepelo: Lepidiolamprologus eolongatus; Lepatt: Lepidiolamprologus attenuatus; Altfas: Altolamprologus fasciatus; Enamel: Enantiopus melanogenys; Gnapfe: Gnathochromis pfefferi; Cypcol: Cyprichromis coloratus; Neosav: Neolamprologus savoryi; Audelw: Aulonochranus dewindtii; Ctehor: Ctenochormis horei; Julorn: Julidochromis ornatus; Xenspi: Xenotilapia spilotera; Varmoo: Variabilichromis moorii; Neopul: Neolamprologus pulcher; Intloo: Interochromis loockii; Ophven: Ophthalmotilapia ventralis; Erecya: Eretmodus cyanostictus; Simbab: Simochromis babaulti; Kondik: Konia dikume; Punmac: Pungu maclareni; Stomar: Stomatepia mariae; Stopin: Stomatepia pindu; Myamya: Myaka myaka; Sarcar: Sarotherodon caroli; Sarlin: Sarotherodon linnellii; Koneis: Konia eisentrauti; Sarloh: Sarotherodon lohbergeri; Sarste: Sarotherodon steinbachi.
