Phylogenetic conservatism of functional traits in microorganisms.

The ISME journal - 1 Apr 2013

Martiny Adam C, Treseder Kathleen, Pusch Gordon

Abstract excerpt

A central question in biology is how biodiversity influences ecosystem functioning. Underlying this is the relationship between organismal phylogeny and the presence of specific functional traits. The relationship is complicated by gene loss and convergent evolution, resulting in the polyphyletic distribution of many traits. In microorganisms, lateral gene transfer can further distort the linkage between...
