Operational taxonomic unit (OTU) richness of epiphytic and endophytic fungi in mangrove species. The black line inside each box represents the median value (n = 8). Kruskal–Wallis test and one-way ANOVA revealed that plant identity had a significant effect on the OTU richness of endophytic fungi (χ2 = 17.849, P = 0.003), but not on that of epiphytic fungi (F5,42 = 0.654, P = 0.660). Bars without shared letters indicate significant differences in the OTU richness of the endophytic fungi among mangrove species determined by Conoverʼs test at P < 0.05. A. corniculatum, Aegiceras corniculatum; A. marina, Avicennia marina; B. gymnorrhiza, Bruguiera gymnorrhiza; E. agallocha, Excoecaria agallocha; K. candel, Kandelia candel; R. stylosa, Rhizophora stylosa
