Global molecular phylogeography reveals persistent Arctic circumpolar isolation in a marine planktonic protist (2007)
Journal Article
Darling, K. F., Kucera, M., & Wade, C. M. (2007). Global molecular phylogeography reveals persistent Arctic circumpolar isolation in a marine planktonic protist. Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 104(12), 5002-5007. https://doi.org/10.1073/pnas.0700520104

The high-latitude planktonic foraminifera have proved to be particularly useful model organisms for the study of global patterns of vicariance and gene flow in the oceans. Such studies demonstrate that gene flow can occur over enormous distances in t...
