Additional file 7: of Signatures of ecological processes in microbial community time series

Figure S5. The test for temporal structure with noise types is robust to compositionality and the absence of transient dynamics. (a) The noise-type profiles for absolute abundances do not differ noticeably from those for relative abundances shown in Figure 3a. (b) When noise types are computed for the last hundred time points, most time series are correctly classified as temporally structured or unstructured. Labels for time series are colored according to the level of non-zero intrinsic noise (sigma) for Ricker, according to the death rate if larger than one for Hubbell, according to the interval if larger than one (with interval coloring taking precedence over sigma) and black otherwise.
