FIG 2.

The nonmetric multidimensional scaling (NMDS) biplot of Labyrinthulomycetes 18S rRNA gene amplicon sequence variants (ASVs) across the weekly time series at the Piver’s Island Coastal Observatory (PICO) from 2011 to 2013. Each circle represents the Labyrinthulomycetes composition at a specific time point, colored by year-day. Vectors indicate environmental factors that were related (permutation tests, P < 0.01) to the community composition. DIC, dissolved inorganic carbon; Fungi, fungal ITS abundance; Chl-a, chlorophyll a; Temp, water temperature.
