Figure 1. The Ocean Barcode Atlas query schema.
Figure 2. Graphical results produced by the Ocean Barcode Atlas.
Figure 3. The Interactive world map of the barcodes abundance
distribution using a range for an environmental variable.
Figure 4. Case study 1. Biogeography of the Symbiodiniaceae V9 rDNA
metabarcodes (A) and scatter plot of their relative abundance (B) in the
open ocean among the total reads of the eukaryotic community across
different latitudes on surface samples and plankton size fractions
(piconano: 0.8–5 µm; micro: 20–180 µm; meso: 180–2,000 µm).
Figure 5. Case study 2. Biogeography of prasinophytes Clade VII (A) and
mamiellophyceae (B) V9 rDNA metabarcodes.Scatter plots show their
relative abundance across different latitudes in surface samples for
pico-nanoplankton size fraction (0.8–5 µm) corresponding to
prasinophytes Clade VII (C) and mamiellophyceae (D).
Figure 6. Case study 3. Ecological analyses of Diplonemids V9 rDNA
metabarcodes. Beta-diversity analysis (A) showing a non-metric
multidimensional scaling analysis based on pairwise Bray-Curtis
distances among samples (using depth as the environmental variable).
Alpha-diversity analysis (B) showing boxplots of OTU number versus
sampling depth and Shannon index versus sampling depth.
