Fig. 3: Taxonomic profiles of highly prevalent associations for each region and depth layer.
From: Disentangling microbial networks across pelagic zones in the tropical and subtropical global ocean
If an association appears in more than 70% of the subnetworks, it is classified as highly prevalent. Rows indicate the four depth layers: surface (SRF), DCM, mesopelagic (MES), and bathypelagic (BAT). The number of samples appears in the upper left corner, the number of edges in the upper right corner, and the depth range in the lower right corner (in m below surface). The nodes (outer chord) are microbial taxa (ASVs) grouped by taxonomic rank (indicated with colors). The edges (connections inside the chord circle) represent the associations between the ASVs. Note how the proportion of associations changes across the vertical and horizontal dimensions of the ocean. Source data are provided in the GitHub/Zenodo37 repositories (sections 02_NetworkConstruction and 04_Prevalence; see Data Availability).
