Unassigned diversity of planktonic foraminifera from environmental sequencing revealed as known but neglected species - Fig 4

(A) Intra-clade variability observed on the V9 and foraminifera specific marker of the reference sequences based on Kimura genetic distance and (B) distribution of the closest match of OTUs of the 247 foraminiferal OTUs of the dataset of de Vargas et al. [6] and the 155 representative OTUs of Morard et al. [4]. The abscise axis are aligned with the (A) panel. (C) Integration of the Basal and Microperforates OTUs into the molecular taxonomy framework. The two-dimensional box plot represent the variability observed within each taxonomic level and the circled dots represent the lowest distance observed between the OTUs and the reference sequences.
