Figure Lengend Snippet: Heat map showing the abundances of different taxa, using the lowest taxonomic level available. Lowercase letters designate taxonomic level (o for order, f for family, g for genus, k for kingdom, etc.). Significant differences in abundance between sample types are indicated by an asterisk next to that taxonomic group (one-way ANOVA, P < 0.05). The number of samples follow: mussels ( n = 13), oysters ( n = 9), and aggregates ( n = 11).

Article Snippet: Each time seawater was collected, 5 min of underwater video footage was taken to enumerate suspended aggregates (Sony TRV99 camera in Ikelite housing) and analyzed as outlined by Lyons et al. ( ).

Figure Lengend Snippet: (a) Venn diagram of core OTUs for three of the sample types (mussel gut, oyster gut, aggregate) from all months. Core OTUs are defined here as those shared by 95% of samples. AFSW samples were not used in the analyses because only July samples amplified. Sample sizes used are as follows: mussels ( n = 13), oysters ( n = 9), and aggregates ( n = 10). (b) Abundance of the top 10 core OTUs shared by mussels and oysters from all months.
