Figure caption
Figure 1. Venn diagrams recovered by each molecular marker MiFish, NeoFish and COI considering distinct taxonomic levels: (a) order, (b) family/(subfamily), and (c) genus/species. Species marked with an asterisk (*) have not been reported for the São Francisco River Basin.
Figure 2. Improvement in detected taxa when using a single marker for the COI gene, combining COI and Mifish and combining COI, Mifish and Neofish.
Figure 3. Relative read abundance (RRA) for each taxon, in each sample, with each marker.
Figure 4. PCoA plots of 30 ichthyoplankton fish communities detected using three different molecular markers: COI, Mifish and Neofish. Analyses were conducted using (a) Jaccard coefficient considering the presence/absence of fish tax and (b) the Bray-Curtis coefficient, which uses a matrix of abundance based on each taxon.
