Fig 1.
Standardized effect size Mean Nearest Taxon Distances (ses.MNTD) for microbial communities of third instar larvae of different fly species (D. ciliatus, D. bivittatus, Z. cucurbitae) as calculated from Abundance weighted metrics.
Upper panel are estimated using the taxa.labels null model while lower panel are estimated with the independent swap model. * indicate which treatments differed significantly from 0.

Intraspecific abundance weighted Standardized effect size β Mean Nearest Taxon Distances (ses.MNTD) for microbiomes.
Calculated for third instar larvae of different fly species (D. ciliatus, D. bivittatus, Z. cucurbitae). * indicate which treatments differed significantly from 0.

Intraspecific abundance weighted Raup-Cricke Bray distances (RCBray) for microbiomes.
Calculated for third instar larvae of different fly species (D. ciliatus, D. bivittatus, Z. cucurbitae). * indicate which treatments differed significantly from 0.

Barplots showing A) the relative proportions of bacterial taxa that fit either the neutral model, are more prevalent than expected (Above) or less prevalent than expected (Below). B) the relative proportions of reads that belong to bacterial taxa that fit the neutral model, are more prevalent than expected (Above) or less prevalent than expected (Below).
