A Temporal abundance trends. The X axis presents the month and the Y axis presents the centered logarithm ratio abundance. A generalized additive model smooth is adjusted to the data points. B Heatmaps presenting the nucleotide divergence between each ASV pair (number of mismatches after alignment). Five nucleotide divergence equals to a median sequence identity of 98.8%.
