Network modules and stability for microeukaryotic plankton OTUs at station G. a Network revealing the modular associations among microeukaryotic plankton OTUs (left). Relative abundance of microeukaryotic OTUs from major modules along the three different salinity levels (right). A connection indicates a strong (SparCC |r| > 0.6) and significant (P < 0.01) correlation. The size of each microeukaryotic OTU (node) is proportional to the number of connections (i.e., degree). b Network stability for all, core and satellite taxa at different salinity levels (i.e., low, medium, and high), respectively. The robustness of all, core, and satellite networks under different salinity conditions in Xinglinwan Reservoir. Insert: overview of pairwise community dissimilarity of microeukaryotic plankton communities at three different salinity levels. Statistical analysis is non-parametric Mann-Whitney U test. ***P < 0.001. All, all microeukaryotic plankton communities; Core, core microeukaryotic plankton subcommunities; Satellite, satellite microeukaryotic plankton subcommunities
