微生物群落的变化代表了宿主生物对环境条件变化的快速反应机制。因此，它们可能在帮助宿主适应季节性温度变化以及物种范围内的温度变化方面很重要。波斯湾/阿拉伯湾是世界上最温暖的海洋，温度季节性波动较大（20℃-37 ℃），并与阿曼湾相连，阿曼湾经历了更典型的海洋条件（最远站点之间的距离为300 km，季节变化极端。值得注意的是，从两个数据集鉴定的超过50%的温度预测ASV属于弧菌科。总之，我们的研究结果将温度确定为群落水平变化的可靠预测因子，并突出了参与热环境响应的特定微生物类群。
Shifts in microbial communities represent a rapid response mechanism for host organisms to respond to changes in environmental conditions. Therefore, they are likely to be important in assisting the acclimatization of hosts to seasonal temperature changes as well as to variation in temperatures across a species’ range. The Persian/Arabian Gulf is the world's warmest sea, with large seasonal fluctuations in temperature (20℃ ‐ 37℃) and is connected to the Gulf of Oman which experiences more typical oceanic conditions (300 km distance between the furthest sites and the extreme seasonal variations. Notably, over 50% of the temperature predictive ASVs identified from the two datasets belonged to the family Vibrionaceae. Together, our results identify temperature as a robust predictor of community‐level variation and highlight specific microbial taxa putatively involved in the response to thermal environment.
