Correlations between explanatory metrics (mean phylogenetic distance (A, B) and mean genome size (C, D)) and response metrics: number of PPM (A, C) and CPPM (B, D). These correlations were used for the quasi-Poisson GLM models. In each panel, the black dot corresponds to the value for the whole community (193 genomes). The number of PPM increased rapidly with SynCom size, mean phylogenetic distance, and mean genome size, then started plateauing slowly towards the whole community value (see also Figure S7, notably panels B1 to B4). The number of CPPM was negatively correlated with SynCom size and mean phylogenetic distance, and positively correlated with mean genome size
