The phytoplankton Gephyrocapsa have gone through repeated macroevolutionary shifts in size. Here, Bendif et al. combine fossil and genomic data to show the latest shift was coincident with a species radiation and suggest that previous shifts have also resulted from cycles of radiation and extinction...
