Genetic variability in microbial eukaryotes reshapes marine biodiversity assessment in the age of amplicon sequencing

PLOS One | https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pone.0326053 June 20, 2025 16 / 29 Fig 8. Phylogenetic context of ASVs generated during this study. PR2 reference sequences and clades are shown in black (includes a total of 258 polycystine sequences and 18 Acantharea outgroup sequences). The dominant ASVs from specimens in this study are shown in green text with a numeric identifier and the morphology-based taxonomic name. Families or clades in which any of our specimens’ dominant ASVs clustered are
