contents Variations in the latitudinal diversity gradients of the ocean microbiome. Eriksson, Dominic Schiller, Jonas Schickele, Alexandre Priest, Taylor Mankowski, Anna Faucher, Enzo Ustick, Lucas J Kuhn, Michael Miravet-Verde, Samuel Ruscheweyh, Hans-Joachim Clerc, Corentin Gruber, Nicolas Sunagawa, Shinichi Bork, Peer Vogt, Meike Latitudinal diversity gradients (LDGs), which typically decline from the equator to the poles, are a pervasive macroecological pattern. However, their generality and drivers in the ocean microbiome remain widely unresolved. We integrated global-scale metagenomic data with habitat modeling to study marine microbial LDGs across seasons and depths. Surface mixed-layer microbiomes exhibit diversity peaks at (sub)tropical latitudes and a poleward decline, whereas mesopelagic communities (200-1,000 m) show no latitudinal diversity structuring. Taxonomic resolution reveals that the mixed-layer LDG is underpinned by Alphaproteobacteria and Cyanobacteriia, while other taxa exhibit distinct or contrasting LDGs. Diversity structuring also varies by seasons and regions and is governed by temperature and nutrient availability. Together, these findings highlight that, within the ocean microbiome, LDGs are not universal but reflect lineage-specific ecological strategies and responses to environmental gradients. Our study provides fundamental insights into the structuring of ocean microbiome diversity and lays the foundation for predicting responses to environmental change.
