Fig. 3From: Ciliate diversity and distribution patterns in the sediments of a seamount and adjacent abyssal plains in the tropical Western Pacific OceanAnalyses of the novel diversity within the ciliate communities in the sediments of the seamount and adjacent deep-sea plain. Each node represents one OTU, the different colors indicate the sequence similarity to a deposited reference sequence, and the size of the node indicates the number of V4 sequences. An edge weight (sequence similarity) of 90% was chosen to discriminate between the different OTUsBack to article page
