Sources of diversity at the DSL in spring. A 4-way Venn diagram schematic indicating the different diversity sources considered B Percentage of species (ASVs) associated with each Venn diagram intersection: in green are ASVs associated with sinking (EPI + DSL), in light blue ASVs shared between the shallow mesopelagic and DSL (MS + DSL), in dark orange ASVs that are unique to the DSL, in dark blue ASVs shared between the deep mesopelagic and the DSL (MD + DSL), in gray ASVs shared among the three mesopelagic depths (MS + DSL + MD) and in light orange are ASVs that are enriched in the DSL. The percentages shown here represent the mean values of the 4-way Venn diagrams run separately for each of the 5 spring depth profiles
