Blanes Bay picoeukaryotic seasonality

Here we provide a tool to investigate the seasonality of picoeukaryotic taxa during a monthly survey of 10 years at the Blanes Bay Microbial Observatory (BBMO). This site is a coastal monitoring station located near the city of Blanes in the NW Mediterranean Sea (41°40′N, 2°48′E) with a focus on the abundance, diversity and activity of marine microorganisms. The diversity dataset derives from environmental V4-18S rDNA sequences (Giner et al. 2019), and can be queried via BLAST or by specifying the taxa of interest.

This tool has been designed and developed by Imer Muhovic, together with data, analysis and advices from Aleix Obiol, Oriol Canals, Caterina R. Giner and Ramon Massana.
