Boxplots showing alpha diversity comparisons of the different caterpillars (Pieris brassicae) and parasitoid larvae (Cotesia glomerata) samples studied. Samples were divided in different subgroups according to habitat, health status and origin for caterpillars, and habitat and origin for parasitoid larvae. The upper and lower whiskers correspond to the first and third quartiles, with the bar in the middle marking the median value. Alpha diversity was measured by the number of observed of (z)OTUs (top panels) and Shannon index (bottom panels) for bacteria (A, B) and fungi (C, D). Abbreviations used: H = healthy; P = parasitized; E = external; and I = internal
