Fig. 3

The topological characteristics of fungi-fungi co-occurrence/co-exclusion networks. A, B The overall co-occurrence network in healthy and dandruff scalps, respectively. The size of the node corresponds to the log-transformed degree of the microbiota. The thickness of the edges corresponds to the | r | value of the Spearman relationship. The color of the edges corresponds to the positive (> 0.5) (red) or negative (< -0.5) (green) relationship or weak correlation (-0.5 ≤ r ≤ 0.5) (gray). The length of the edges has no meaning. C Differences in Spearman’s r values between healthy and dandruff scalps at the overall (left), positive (center) and negative (right) levels (*: P ≤ 0.05, ****: P ≤ 0.0001, Wilcoxon test). D Differences in the degree or betweenness of the co-occurrence network between healthy and dandruff scalp microbiota (ns: P > 0.05, *: P ≤ 0.05, Wilcoxon test)
