Environmental and host-associated ciliate lineages. Maximum-likelihood phylogeny of all Ciliophora ASVs, reference sequences and best BLAST hits using the GTR+F+R7 substitution model. Individual ASVs indicated by white rectangles in a gray ring. Accompanying dots reflect the presence in each host phylum (colored accordingly). Black bars in the outer ring reflect the number of specimens associated with each ASV (on a log scale). Nodes are labeled to show UltraFast bootstrap support and taxonomic clades are annotated by color. Outer red clade labels show host-associated taxa (single line) and epibiotic symbionts (double line). a Percentage of individuals with at least one ASV in the tree. b Absolute number of distinct ASVs. c–e Highlighted lineages discussed in the text
