Fig. 4
Fit of the Sloan neutral community model. Each point represents a bacterial ASV at the pore size of 20 µm (a, e), 50 µm (b, f), 100 µm (c, g), and 300 µm (d, h). Dashed lines illustrate 95% confidence intervals around the model prediction. ASVs that occur more frequently and less frequently than the prediction are shown in blue and yellow, respectively (a, b, c, d). The R2 demonstrates the goodness of fit to the neutral model. The inset pie chart reveals the proportion of ASVs below, within, and above neutral expectations. The abundant, intermediate, and rare ASVs were colored as orange, green, and purple, respectively (e, f, g, h). Relative abundance of different subcommunities that fall below, within, and above neutral model expectation (i, j, k, l). The numbers in the column denote the count of ASVs
