DNA evidence for global dispersal and probable endemicity of protozoa.

BMC evolutionary biology - 13 Sept 2007

Bass David, Richards Thomas A, Matthai Lena, Marsh Victoria, Cavalier-Smith Thomas

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: It is much debated whether microbes are easily dispersed globally or whether they, like many macro-organisms, have historical biogeographies. The ubiquitous dispersal hypothesis states that microbes are so numerous and so easily dispersed worldwide that all should be globally distributed and found wherever growing conditions suit them. This has been broadly upheld for protists (microbial eukaryotes)...
