aMicrobial taxon (at genus level) with at least one significant (P < 0.01) and strong (SparCC > 0.9 or < − 0.9) correlation. bNumber of connections/correlations obtained by SparCC analysis. cSparCC-positive correlation (> 0.9 with P < 0.01). dSparCC-negative correlation ( < − 0.9 with P < 0.01). eThe capability of the nodes to form highly connected communities, that is, a structure with high density of between nodes connections (inferred by Gephi). fA community is defined as a group of nodes densely connected internally (Gephi). gThe longest distance between nodes in the network, measured in number of edges (Gephi). hAverage network distance between all pair of nodes or the average length off all edges in the network (Gephi). iThe average number of connections per node in the network, that is, the node connectivity (Gephi). jHow nodes are embedded in their neighborhood and the degree to which they tend to cluster together (Gephi)
