Geographic barriers isolate endemic populations of hyperthermophilic archaea.

Science (New York, N.Y.) - 15 Aug 2003

Whitaker Rachel J, Grogan Dennis W, Taylor John W

Abstract excerpt

Barriers to dispersal between populations allow them to diverge through local adaptation or random genetic drift. High-resolution multilocus sequence analysis revealed that, on a global scale, populations of hyperthermophilic microorganisms are isolated from one another by geographic barriers and have diverged over the course of their recent evolutionary history. The identification of a biogeographic pattern in...
