Uncovering sibling species in Radiolaria: evidence for ecological partitioning in a marine planktonic protist.

Abstract excerpt

Phylogeography of unicellular plankton, as representative pelagic organisms, is fundamental to understanding their evolution in the ocean. Historically, these microplankton were believed to have cosmopolitan distributions achieved through passive transport and little potential for speciation because of a lack of geographic barriers in the oceans. Recent phylogeographic studies of these microplankton, however,...
