Method schematic and geographic distribution of samples analyzed. a Method schematic for data attainment and compilation, data processing, and data splitting into three distinct subsets for subsequent analyses. b Map of the coverage of samples included in this study. Three types of host microbiome samples are represented: internal (squares), external (triangles), and marine external (circles). Sampling points are color-scaled by sub-Operational Taxonomic Unit (sOTU) richness. Areas with small territory size (such as Central America and Hawaiian Archipelago) and many sampling points with different types of samples (Madagascar) are shown zoomed-in in separate boxes.
