Multi-Millennial Genetic Resilience of Baltic Diatom Populations Disturbed in the Past Centuries.

Abstract excerpt

Little is known about the genetic diversity and stability of natural populations over millennial time scales, although the current biodiversity crisis calls for heightened understanding. Marine phytoplankton, the primary producers forming the basis of food webs in the oceans, play a pivotal role in maintaining marine ecosystems health and serve as indicators of environmental change. This study examines the...
