Winner prevalence, winner diversity, and subgroup abundance distribution for higher-level taxonomic groups. a A scatter plot of the winner prevalence and winner diversity for different taxonomic groups in the American Gut data. Details are as in Fig. 1, but considering the abundances of subgroups (rather than OTUs) within each taxonomic group. The taxonomic order of each groups is in parentheses next to the group (p phylum, c class, o order, f family). b Examples of higher-level taxonomic groups that can only maintain a single winner (and thus, low winner diversity). c Examples of higher-level taxonomic groups that have a diversity of lottery winners. Details are the same as in Fig. 2b
