Fig. 4

Distributional comparison of beta diversity for inter-clade (elasmobranch species and teleost comparisons) and intra-clade comparisons for both teleost and elasmobranch species (i.e., leopard shark–whale shark comparisons) for a) the taxonomic composition and b) gene function composition. Blue corresponds to teleost, grey to elasmobranch, and teal to among clade comparison (i.e., leopard shark–pipefish comparison). Box plots represent the median with the 2nd and 3rd quantile represented within the box with whiskers representing the 1st and 4th quantile measures. All points beyond whiskers represent outlier samples. Asterisk (*) denotes a significant difference (p < 0.05) relative to the inter-lineage comparison
