Protistan community similarity in Cariaco and Framvaren samples. Dendrogram resulting from calculated Jaccard index [27] based on incidence (Jincidence) of unique operational taxonomic units (OTUs), as a measure of community similarity between the four Cariaco deep-sea samples (CAR1-4) and the four Framvaren Fjord samples (FV1-4) (for sampling sites information see Table 1). Jaccard similarity values were transformed into a distance matrix and subsequent cluster analysis was performed using the unweighted pair group mean average (UPGMA) algorithm. Details about calculation of this figure are described in the 'Community comparisons' paragraph of the methods section. Incidence data (presence/absence) of tags in each of the eight samples under study were obtained from a global tag-matrix as described in pipeline 3 of the sequence data processing paragraph in the methods section.
