- Exploring latitudinal gradients and environmental drivers of amphipod biodiversity patterns regarding depth and habitat variations. Momtazi, Farzaneh Saeedi, Hanieh Amphipoda Animals Biodiversity Ecosystem Phylogeography Indian Ocean Conservation of Natural Resources Amphipods are known as umbrella species in conservation biology that their protection indirectly protects other species. Recent hypotheses suggest a bimodal latitudinal global species richness pattern for amphipods, irrespective of species' depth or habitat type. Phylogeographic hypotheses suggested two distinct procedures for amphipod diversification: ecological radiation and Pangea fragmentation. This study aimed to revisit the bimodal latitudinal pattern of species richness for amphipods, investigate similarities in species composition and main environmental amphipod distribution drivers regarding their depth and habitat variations. The comprehensive database was collected from open-access data and a personal sampling database from the Persian Gulf and the Gulf of Oman. After rigorous data quality controls, the final dataset comprised 1,142,416 distribution records of 6,424 accepted marine amphipod species distributed from 0 to 10,900 m depth. All the species were grouped into pelagic and benthic, shallow-water (> 200 m), and deep-sea (
