Differences in the functional content of the protist metagenomes of wood-dwelling and foraging species. a Circular dendrogram/hierarchy of all over-represented COGs in the category “information storage and processing” in wood-dwelling species (green) or foraging species (orange). Circle size at the edges scales with abundance of the COG. Colored branches indicate over-represented pathways. Over-representation was detected with LEfSe [58] (p < 0.05, q < 0.05, LDA > 2). A Venn diagram visualizing the total number, and the differentially abundant number of functions in each of the five pathways that constitute the category “information storage and processing” can be found in Additional file 1: Fig. S6. b Sequence coverage of wood-dwelling (green) and foraging (orange) species of examples of over-represented COGs mentioned in the text. Error bars represent 95% confidence intervals across replicate colonies
