Total number of OTUs and BINs in A) BLAST and B) mBRAVE analyses recorded at each station. OTUs classified as “unknown Metazoa” are depicted separately due to the high numbers. Low and high tide data is merged for the respective stations. To improve readability, the bars representing Hexapoda at Station D (Lake Eichbaum) were shortened, the respective number of OTUs are shown above the bars. Stations A-C Elbe estuary, Station D Lake Eichbaum, Stations E and F Lake Hohendeich.
