Genetic Diversity in Marine Planktonic Ciliates (Alveolata, Ciliophora) Suggests Distinct Geographical Patterns – Data From Chinese and European Coastal Waters

Genetic Diversity in Marine Planktonic Ciliates (Alveolata, Ciliophora) Suggests Distinct Geographical Patterns – Data From Chinese and European Coastal Waters

Unraveling geographic distribution patterns of planktonic protists is a central goal in marine microbial ecology. Using a novel combination of recently developed phylogenetic and network analyses on a V4 18S rDNA metabarcoding dataset, we here analyzed the genetic diversity of marine planktonic cili...
