Significant and strong SparCC potential co-abundance and co-exclusion relationships between fungal and bacterial OTUs within skin sites. Separate network plots were constructed for a forehead, b left forearm, c left palm, d right forearm, and e right palm. Nodes represent OTUs involved in either significant co-abundance (blue edges) or co-exclusion (red edges) relationships, with the magnitude of the correlation expressed as the intensity of the respective edge colors. The color of each node indicates the genus of the OTU. Only significant correlations (two-sided pseudo p ≤ 0.05 based on bootstrapping of 100 repetitions) with an absolute correlation magnitude ≥0.5 or ≤−0.5 are presented both for visual clarity and to focus on only the strong correlations. The 20 fungal and bacterial genera most involved in strong and significant correlations are listed, and the remaining genera are grouped as “Other.” All significant relationships (both co-abundance and co-exclusion), sorted by skin site, are provided in Additional file 9: Table S6
