<b>Dominant bacterial phylotypes in </b><b><i>H. erato</i></b><b>.</b>

The 10 most abundant bacterial phylotypes (by percent of total sequences) across all H. erato samples, with phylum (or class for Proteobacteria) and family-level classification. The number of specimens sequenced per sample type is indicated in parentheses. Mean percent relative abundances are shown for each life stage and adult group. The genus-level taxonomic identification of the best match for each phylotype, using the RDP SeqMatch tool, is shown along with its percent sequence identity. If the best match is unclassified, the habitat from which it was sequenced is given. Asterisks indicate significantly different relative abundances across life stages (Bonferroni-corrected P<*0.01, **0.001). The † symbols indicate significantly different relative abundances across adult groups (Bonferroni-corrected P<†0.01, ‡0.001).
