Dynamics of predicted communities and metadata across the time series. a Communities predicted by WaveClust analysis as modular units (clusters) of interacting OTUs based on wavelet decomposition to determine correlations at different temporal frequencies followed by clustering (Methods). Shown are the results from positive correlation at both low and high frequency. b Heat map displaying change in physical, biological, and chemical environmental parameters over the time series. Color scale for each environmental parameter varies between maximum and minimum values, which are for each parameter: WWTMP: 20–10 °C; ATMP: 30–10 °C; DWD: 14–4S, WS: 14–4 m/s; WL: 4.5–1.5 m; WH: 3–0.5 m; Press: 1020–995 hPa; TD: 1–0 incoming/outgoing; Malgae: 4–0 relative concentration; CCon: 10–4 µg/L; NH4: 1.4–0 µM; NO2-NO3: 20–0 µM; PO4: 0.7–0 µM; Silicate: 10–2 µM; Salinity: 36–33 psu. For more details see Supplementary Data 7, where values for each day are listed. Day 247, which marks Hurricane Earl passage, is framed in the heat map. c Granger causalities linking predicted communities to each other and to environmental parameters. Nodes represent communities (colored according to a) and environmental parameters (gray). Legends for b and c: WTMP, water temperature; ATMP, air temperature; DWD, dominant wave period; WS, wind speed; WL, water level; WH, wave height; Press, pressure; TD, tidal direction; Malgae, macroalgae; CCon, chlorophyll concentration; NH4, ammonium; NO2–NO3, nitrite and nitrates; PO4, phosphate
