Estimating a temporal network from a single static network via subnetworks. A A complete network would contain all possible associations (edges) between microorganism (nodes). B The single static network inferred with the network construction tool eLSA and the applied filtering strategy considering association significance, the removal of environmentally driven associations, and associations whose partners appeared in more samples together than alone, i.e., Jaccard index being above 0.5. An association having to be present in the single static network is the first out of the three conditions for an association to be present in a monthly subnetwork. C In order to determine monthly subnetworks, we established two further conditions for each edge. First, both microorganisms need to be present in the sample taken in the specific month. Second, the month lays within the time window of the association inferred through the network construction tool. Here, 3 months are indicated as an example. D Example of monthly subnetworks for the 3 months. The colored nodes correspond to the abundances depicted in C
