Abstract excerpt
The open ocean is a vast, highly connected environment, and the organisms found there have been hypothesized to represent massive, well-mixed populations. Of these, the man-o'-war or bluebottle (Physalia) is uniquely suited to long-distance travel, using its gas-filled float and muscular crest to catch the wind and sail the sea surface. We tested the hypothesis of a global, panmictic Physalia population by...
