For your summer internship you decide to help farmers characterize the microbiotas of their pigs. Below is a graphical representation of the diversity observed after sampling and sequencing the microbiotas present in the small intestine (jejunum and ileum) and large intestine (cecum) of their fattest pigs. Reference the data presented below to address the following statement.
(T/F)
Each point on the graph above represents one microbial species present in the either the small intestine or the large intestine.
