Diversity of DEP sewage over time. Both beta diversity ordinations are from NMDS of the Bray–Curtis dissimilarity for all 136 DEP samples by season and borough. a V4 region. b V9 region. In both panels colors indicate collection season and shapes represent the borough from which each sample was collected. Abbreviations: Bk = Brooklyn, BQ = Brooklyn/Queens, Qu = Queens, SI = Staten Island, Bx = Bronx, BM = Bronx/Manhattan, M = Manhattan. Relative abundance of protist groups identified in DEP sewage over four seasons from 18S rRNA amplicon sequencing. c V4 region. d V9 region. In both panels data are the average of all 34 samples collected per season
