Differentially abundant microbes within C. crambe developmental stages A Differentially abundant (DA) ASVs across the reproductive cycle of the sponge C. crambe. Values represent the number of ASVs identified at higher relative abundances in the comparison between the consecutive ontogeny phases. Abundances and taxonomy of DA ASVs for each comparison can be found in Additional files 5–9 and 18. B Heatmap of the most abundant DA ASVs among the different ontogenetic stages of C. crambe, with log transformed abundances represented in the colour temperature bar. Microbial ASVs are organized according to a hierarchical clustering based on Bray–Curtis Dissimilarity matrices. Sponge samples (x-axis) are coloured according to stage and sampling date
