Fungal sharing in the plant-fungus networks varies across the different fungal lineages. a Interaction specializations (H2′) are lower in plant-Glomeromycotina networks than in other plant-fungus networks. For each plant-fungus network (with Glomeromycotina, Mucoromycotina, Sebacinales, Helotiales, or Cantharellales) in each sampled community (Grand brûlé (A), Plaine-des-Palmistes (B), or Dimitile (C)), a colored dot indicates the network-level interaction specialization (H2′). The significance of the H2′ values was evaluated using null models maintaining marginal sums or shuffle-sample null models: all the H2′ values were significant for the marginal sums null models, and asterisks indicate when the H2′ values are significant, based on the shuffle-sample null models (see Additional file 1: Fig. S11 for details). b Motif frequencies significantly differ between the plant-fungus networks. Principal coordinate analyses (PCoA) of the bipartite motif frequencies (the “building blocks” of the network containing from 2 to 5 species) of each plant-fungus network (Glomeromycotina, Mucoromycotina, Sebacinales, Helotiales, or Cantharellales) in each sampled community (Grand brûlé (A), Plaine-des-Palmistes (B), or Dimitile (C)). The colored triangle areas represent the proximity within the sampled communities for the different groups of fungi
