Metagenomics Shows That Termite Activities Influence the Diversity and Composition of Soil Invertebrates in Termite Mound Soils

Figure 1

Soil invertebrate at the phylum level (relative abundance). T1a–d and T2a–d mean termite mounds from Braklaagte and Zeerust, respectively, while S1a–d and S2a–d mean adjacent soils from Braklaagte and Zeerust, respectively. UE = unclassified eukaryote. The relative abundance of the soil invertebrates was transformed with the z-score as expressed in colour saturation gradient seen in the scale bar.
