A null model for microbial diversification.

Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America - 3 Jul 2017

Straub Timothy J, Zhaxybayeva Olga

Abstract excerpt

Whether prokaryotes (Bacteria and Archaea) are naturally organized into phenotypically and genetically cohesive units comparable to animal or plant species remains contested, frustrating attempts to estimate how many such units there might be, or to identify the ecological roles they play. Analyses of gene sequences in various closely related prokaryotic groups reveal that sequence diversity is typically...
