Left map of sample sites (YNP1-2 and BP1-5) within YNP and approximate distance and direction of GBS sites and right number of long, high %id scaffolds shared between pairs of sites. Colors are based on types of sites that scaffolds are shared between (for instance, blue lines indicate transfers between two phototrophic communities) and line thickness is proportional to the number of shared scaffolds. The four panels show different ranges of synonymous substitution rates (Ks), a proxy for how conserved shared scaffolds are and how recently scaffold sharing most likely occurred (from most recent, Ks < 0.01 at top left, to most distant, Ks 0.32–0.50, at bottom right).
