Summary
Marine microbial associations exhibit predictable annual cycles, collapsing and reassembling with changing water temperatures. Understanding these dynamic interactions is key to ocean microbiome function.
Area of Science:
- Marine microbiology
- Ecology
- Network analysis
Background:
- Microbial interactions are crucial for ecosystem function but are difficult to study.
- Current methods often infer static microbial associations, neglecting their dynamic nature.
- Investigating temporal changes in marine microbial associations is essential for understanding ocean ecosystems.
