From: Microbiome changes through the ontogeny of the marine sponge Crambe crambe
Alpha and Beta microbial diversity within different developmental stages of C. crambe: A. Cluster dendogram based on Bray–Curtis dissimilarity matrices of microbial communities in the ontogenetic cycle of the sponge C. crambe. Each colour depicts a developmental stage and sampling dates are indicated in brackets. B. Box plot showing alpha diversity measures of C. crambe ontogenetic stages using Shannon diversity index. C. Principal coordinate analysis (PCoA) plot based on Bray–Curtis dissimilarity index of the microbial composition across the different C. crambe ontogenetic phases (indicated by different colours). Shapes on the figure legend correspond to different adult individuals. Variation explained by the first two axes is indicated as %
