A Boxplots displaying the estimated Shannon diversity index values of the bacterial communities of the leaf, fruit and soil substrates. Shannon diversity index values were quantified using the rarefied data. The boxes represent the interquartile range (IQR: 25–75% of the data), the horizontal line indicates the median, while the whiskers extend to 1.5 times the IQR. The points represent individual values for each of the samples. Boxes with different letters within each panel indicate significant differences from each other (Dunn’s P < 0.05). B Stacked bar plots of the percent of taxa found in the leaf and fruit communities that were only found in data from those substrates or also identified in the data from the other substrates. Bar plots displaying the percent of shared and unique taxa found in the soil communities are displayed in Additional file 1: Fig S5
