Extended Data Fig. 3: Highly abundant ASVs detectable only during conservation phase.

Type K, typical K-strategists. Circles connected with lines represent percentages of 16S rDNA amplicon reads, triangles represent percentages of 16S rRNA amplicons reads. Samples from the pond are depicted in blue, samples from the stream in orange. Background colours indicate different phases of the succession: violet – ‘K’ conservation phase, orange – ‘Ω’ collapse and release phase, light green – ‘α’ reorganization phase, and aquamarine – ‘r’ exploitation phase. Displayed taxonomy is based on naive Bayesian classifier method and trained Silva SSU database release 132 incorporated in the DADA2 pipeline; additionally, if available, 100% identity matches obtained with BLAST are shown in brackets, and CARD-FISH probes matching the ASVs (R-BT065 and opitu-346) are indicated in italics.
