Map of coral sampling locations where corallicolid plastids were detected using 16S sequences in the northern Gulf of Mexico (a), Florida Keys (b), and Curaçao (c). Coral species that hosted corallicolids are listed for each site using abbreviations described in Table S2 in Additional File 1. Numbers in parentheses next to species abbreviations denote the number of colonies screened. Each 16S plastotype is denoted by a letter and unique color and/or pattern. Numbers in the tables denote the number of colonies of each species in which each plastotype was detected. Bathymetric map of the Gulf of Mexico is available from U.S. Bureau of Ocean Energy Management Gulf of Mexico Deepwater Bathymetry Grid. *For colonies that were sampled more than once, a plastotype was considered detected if it was found in at least one sample from that colony
