Fig. 3: Individual temporal relative abundances profiles for Top Twenty phytoplankton 16S ASVs (chloroplast + cyanobacterial 16S) in the Bedford Basin time series from 2014–2017.
From: Highly-resolved interannual phytoplankton community dynamics of the coastal Northwest Atlantic
Data is rarefied. a Weekly relative abundances (Rel. Abun.) at 5 m water depth for V4-V5 and V6-V8. Rel. Abun. (%) = (number of reads per ASV in a sample / total chloroplast and cyanobacterial reads in said sample) × 100. b Plot of species scores after 5 m samples subjected to NMDS analysis. Only groups of ASVs with >3 identical genus and/or species names are shown along with the number of nucleotide differences (Nt. Diff.) between these ASVs. Environmental variables are overlaid as lines. c Weekly temperature anomalies at 5 m [values are ± °C difference relative to the 1992–2017 weekly mean temperature]. Shading in anomaly plots show standard deviations of the weekly 1992–2017 means. Anomalies for nutrients and salinity also given (Fig. S11). Also see the indicator species test of Table S1 for significant seasonal associations of top ASVs.
