Persistent intra-specific variation in genetic and behavioral traits in the raphidophyte, Heterosigma akashiwo

Motility is a key trait that phytoplankton utilize to navigate the heterogeneous marine environment. Quantifying both intra- and inter-specific variability in trait distributions is key to utilizing traits to distinguish groups of organisms and assess their ecological function. Because examinations...
