Genome-wide patterns of selection-drift variation strongly associate with organismal traits across the green plant lineage.

Abstract excerpt

There are many gaps in our knowledge of how life cycle variation and organismal body architecture associate with molecular evolution. Using the diverse range of green algal body architectures and life cycle types as a test case, we hypothesize that increases in cytomorphological complexity are likely to be associated with a decrease in the effective population size, because larger-bodied organisms typically have...
