“…BOX FIGURE 1 | Depiction of a coral reef and associated microbiomes with organismal hosts [i.e., invertebrates Tianero et al, 2014;Hakim et al, 2016), seagrass (Ettinger et al, 2017;Fahimipour et al, 2017), fish (Ghanbari et al, 2015;Givens et al, 2015;Parris et al, 2016), corals (Barott et al, 2011;Blackall et al, 2015;Hester et al, 2016), macroalgae (Barott et al, 2011;Burke et al, 2011;Egan et al, 2013;Brodie et al, 2016), sponges Blackall et al, 2015), turf algae (Hester et al, 2016)] and environmental parameters [i.e., reef water (McCliment et al, 2012), sediment (Ettinger et al, 2017)]. The size of the bubble indicates a more species rich microbiome (based on OTUs).…”
