Taxonomic comparison at the kingdom and phylum levels of eukaryotes detected with shotgun sequencing and metabarcoding. A. Number and relative abundance (percentages) of taxonomically classified reads after rarefaction per sample and kingdom for shotgun sequencing; B. Number and relative abundance of taxonomically classified reads after rarefaction per sample and kingdom for metabarcoding. For both heatmaps, sample replicates are ordered along the y-axis by increasing pore size, starting with the enclosed filter type (EN) and continuing with the open pore filter type (OP). Pore sizes are in µm; C. Cladogram of the full set of eukaryotic phyla identified by shotgun sequencing and metabarcoding. Branch colors represent kingdoms (blue, Metazoa; red, Fungi; green, Viridiplantae; pink, other eukaryotes). Three surrounding rings indicate phyla shared between shotgun sequencing and metabarcoding (gray), phyla uniquely detected with metabarcoding (yellow), and phyla uniquely detected with shotgun sequencing (blue). Information in the rings is summarized in a Venn diagram in the upper left corner. Taxa marked with an asterisk are no longer categorized as a phylum.
