Diversity of carbon sources in a body site is largely mediated by taxonomic diversity. a Diversity of carbon sources used within samples. b Taxonomic diversity within a sample. c Values from (a, b) for each sample plotted against each other. Entropy (Shannon’s entropy) is a common diversity metric that integrates both the eveness and richness of items considered (carbon sources and species in panels (a, b) respectively)
