Delineating ecologically significant taxonomic units from global patterns of marine picocyanobacteria.
Prochlorococcus and Synechococcus are the two most abundant and widespread phytoplankton in the global ocean. To better understand the factors controlling their biogeography, a reference database of the high-resolution taxonomic marker petB, encoding cytochrome b6, was used to recruit reads out of 109 metagenomes from the Tara Oceans expedition. An unsuspected novel genetic diversity was unveil...
متن کاملGlobal patterns in marine dispersal estimates: the influence of geography, taxonomic category and life history.
We examine estimates of dispersal in a broad range of marine species through an analysis of published values, and evaluate how well these values represent global patterns through a comparison with correlates of dispersal. Our analysis indicates a historical focus in dispersal studies on low-dispersal/low-latitude species, and we hypothesize that these studies are not generally applicable and re...
متن کاملGlobal biodiversity patterns of benthic marine algae.
Species richness patterns are remarkably similar across many marine taxa, yet explanations of how such patterns are generated and maintained are conflicting. I use published occurrence data to identify previously masked latitudinal and longitudinal diversity gradients for all genera of benthic marine macroalgae and for species in the Order Bryopsidales. I also quantify the size, location, and o...
متن کاملHarnessing genomics for delineating conservation units.
Genomic data have the potential to revolutionize the delineation of conservation units (CUs) by allowing the detection of adaptive genetic variation, which is otherwise difficult for rare, endangered species. In contrast to previous recommendations, we propose that the use of neutral versus adaptive markers should not be viewed as alternatives. Rather, neutral and adaptive markers provide diffe...
متن کاملGlobal patterns of moss diversity: taxonomic and molecular inferences
A latitudinal gradient of decreasing species diversity from the tropics toward the poles is considered to be one of the few truly general patterns in biogeography and ecology (Rosenzweig, 1995). As a result, a voluminous body of literature has accumulated over the last 30 years, dedicated to explaining the basis of the latitudinal gradient (Rohde, 1992). Substantial progress has been made towar...
