Extended Data Fig. 4: Recurrent patterns in the abundances of different cyanophage lineages.
From: Viruses affect picocyanobacterial abundance and biogeography in the North Pacific Ocean
T4-like (orange), T7-like clade B (blue), T7-like clade A (red), and TIM5-like (green) cyanophage abundances are plotted for the 2015 (left panel, a-d), 2016 (middle panel, e-i), and 2017 (right panel, j-m) transects against latitude (primary x-axis). Northbound and southbound legs of the transects in 2016 and 2017, indicated below the axis, are unfolded on the x-axis as they overlap, and dashed lines indicate the switch in direction between the two transect legs. Date of sample collection is shown as a secondary x-axis. Cyanophage abundances are averages determined from 10,000 bootstrapping and resamplings of the phage-to-polony conversion efficiencies (see Methods). Error bars show 95% confidence intervals for cyanophage abundances which are the 95% quantiles of the bootstrap analyses. The location of the hotspot is indicated by yellow shading, sampling occurring northward of the hotspot is indicated by light blue shading. Note the change in the magnitude of the vertical axis for the different cyanophage lineages.
