Description
Species interaction networks are shaped by abiotic and biotic factors. Here, as part of
the Tara Oceans project, we studied the photic zone interactome using environmental
factors and organismal abundance profiles and found that environmental factors are
incomplete predictors of community structure. We found associations across plankton
functional types and phylogenetic groups to be nonrandomly distributed on the network
and driven by both local and global patterns.We identified interactions among grazers,
primary producers, viruses, and (mainly parasitic) symbionts and validated networkgenerated
hypotheses using microscopy to confirm symbiotic relationships.We have thus
provided a resource to support further research on ocean food webs and integrating
biological components into ocean models
