Quaternary climate instability as the driver of genetic diversification in Neogloboquadrina pachyderma (sin) (2006)
Journal Article
Darling, K., Kucera, M., & Wade, C. (2006). Quaternary climate instability as the driver of genetic diversification in Neogloboquadrina pachyderma (sin). 00 Journal not listed, 29(1), 533. https://doi.org/10.11137/2006_1_533-533

Molecular genetic analysis shows that many planktonic foraminiferal morphospecies represent complexes of several distinct genetic types with distinct ecologies and distributions. Such cryptic diversity is common in most planktonic protists. Global bi...

It is unknown how pelagic marine protists undergo diversification and speciation. Superficially, the open ocean appears homogeneous, with few clear barriers to gene flow, allowing extensive, even global, dispersal. Yet, despite the apparent lack of o...
