Heat map of the 30 ASVs that are the most important contributors to a Random Forest classification model that was trained to predict larval stage from microbial community composition. The heat map shows the relative abundance of the ASVs in samples of the different larval stages (Day), samples are clustered using Sorensen-Dice dissimilarity distances. More detailed taxonomic information can be found in Additional file 1: Table S4. Stars denote ASVs that were not detected in tank water and algae samples with a relative abundance greater than 1%
