At least some protist species are not ubiquitous.

Molecular ecology - 1 Oct 2013

Fontaneto Diego, Hortal Joaquín

Abstract excerpt

Body size is one of the main regulators of the ecological characteristics of living organisms, including their biogeography. The 'ubiquity hypothesis' for microorganisms states that they are widely distributed, if not cosmopolitan, due to their small size that allows passive dispersal, in contrast to large organisms that are limited by geographical barriers in their active dispersal. Such idea, summarized in the...
