Latitudinal patterns in the abundance of major marine bacterioplankton groups (2010, background): “…indicated that the composition of bacterioplankton differs between oceanic regions, probably related to oceanographic factors such as water temperature (Baldwin et al. 2005, Fuhrman et al. 2008), nutrient availability (Abell & Bowman 2005), or water masses (Teira et al. 2006, Galand et al. 2010).”

Extracellular enzymes in terrestrial, freshwater, and marine environments: perspectives on system variability and common research needs (2013, background): “The spectrum of substrates hydrolyzed decreases with increasing latitude, reflecting a pattern of latitudinal changes in community diversity and decreasing species richness at higher latitudes observed in other investigations (e.g. Baldwin et al. 2005; Pommier et al. 2007; Fuhrman et al. 2008).”
