Differential Ecological Specificity of Protist and Bacterial Microbiomes across a Set of Termite Species.

We found a highly significant correlation between protist and bacterial alpha-diversity measures across termite host species using Shannon's H (Figure 2 , Pearson's product-moment correlation P = 1.43 × 10 −5 , r 2 = 0.51) as well as between the total number of protist and bacterial taxa (OTUs Figure S2A , Pearson's product-moment correlation: P < 0.05, r 2 = 0.19).
