Abundances are annual means of the proportions of DAPI-stained cells (taken as 100%) either targeted by the universal probe EUK1209R or identified as heterotrophic flagellates via primuline staining.
Results are annual means of the abundances (relative to that of the total small eukaryotes targeted by EUK1209R, taken as 100%) of the eight eukaryotic groups targeted by TSA-FISH using specific oligonucleotide probes.
