Heatmap (a) showing the relative abundance of 18S rRNA genes in microeukaryotic genera in oyster spat using the three methods. In panel b, linear discriminant analysis effect size (LEfSe) reveals differentially detected microeukaryotic genera in oysters among the three methods. The histogram shows LDA scores calculated for differences in genus-level abundances among microeukaryotic 18S rRNA genes for the three methods, and the dot plot shows the p values that determines the LDA significance
