Multivariate correlation (Procrustes analyses) of phylogenetic distance among host organisms and community distances based on (a) shared presence among samples or (b) differences in abundance in 16S rRNA gene amplicon or shotgun-derived community profiles at different taxonomic cutoffs (Phylum to Genus, additional species level OTUs for amplicon-based profiles). Similar results are shown for the correspondence between phylogenetic distances among samples and their distances based on (a) shared presence or (b) abundance differences in their functional composition. The functional composition was derived from COGs and COG categories imputed from PICRUSt, EggNOG-derived COG categories and genes, and CAZY functions. All correlations are significant at P ≤ 0.05 (10,000 permutations)
