Figure 8
Species accumulation curves. (A) Species accumulation curves for component communities (animals pooled within sampling sites) and (B) meta-communities (animals from different sampling sites pooled together within dates). Heavy lines indicate portions of the curve constructed by sampling observed data with replacement, points indicate the observed number of OTUs, and the fine lines are extrapolated curves using the Chao2 estimator. Figure prepared in R (version 3.5.2, R Core Team55) using packages egg100 and ggplot2101.
