AB  - Microbial eukaryotes play important roles in aquatic ecosystem functioning. 
      Unravelling their distribution patterns and biogeography provides important 
      baseline information to infer the underlying mechanisms that regulate the 
      biodiversity and complexity of ecosystems. We studied the distribution patterns 
      and factors driving diversity gradients in microeukaryote communities (total, 
      abundant, uncommon and rare community composition) along a latitudinal gradient 
      of lakes distributed from Argentinean Patagonia to Maritime Antarctica using both 
      denaturing gradient gel electrophoresis (DGGE) and high-throughput sequencing 
      (Illumina HiSeq). DGGE and abundant Illumina operational taxonomic units (OTUs) 
      showed both decreasing richness with latitude and significant differences between 
      Patagonian and Antarctic lakes communities. In contrast, total richness did not 
      change significantly across the latitudinal gradient, although evenness and 
      diversity indices were significantly higher in Patagonian lakes. Beta-diversity 
      was characterized by a high species turnover, influenced by both environmental 
      and geographical descriptors, although this pattern faded in the rare community. 
      Our results suggest the co-existence of a 'core biosphere' containing reduced 
      number of abundant/dominant OTUs on which classical ecological rules apply, 
      together with a much larger seedbank of rare OTUs driven by stochastic and 
      reduced dispersal processes. These findings shed new light on the biogeographical 
      patterns and forces structuring inland microeukaryote composition across broad 
      spatial scales.
