Figure 5
Jellyfish—zooplankton network apparent in the 2008 cruise data. The occurrence rate is indicated by the width of the edge (the line depicting dependencies between two taxa) - the wider the line, the higher the occurrence rate. Arrows indicate non-mutual dependence between two taxa; for example the Sub Arctic Zooplankton group has a positive dependency (is aggregated) with Warm Temperate Oceanic Zooplankton, but Warm Temperate Oceanic Zooplankton do not have a dependency with Sub Arctic Zooplankton. Where there is a mutual dependency between two groups, such as with Cold Temperate Oceanic Zooplankton and Aurelia aurita, the edge does not have an arrow. Numbers by the lines are the mean interaction strengths of the dependencies, with positive interaction strengths indicating aggregation, negative interaction strengths indicating segregation, and zero indicating different aggregation and segregation behaviours at different densities. Phytoplankton abundances are given by Chlorophyll Concentration.
