Saturation plot for the bRPD measure. X-axis, index of the decreasingly sorted bRPD values; y-axis, cumulative bRPD sum in percent. The right-skewed distribution of the bRPD values (see Figure 2) manifests itself in the fact that only about 2,000 strains (vertical line) are necessary to reach 50% of the overall phylogenetic diversity (horizontal line) as estimated using this measure.
