Abstract

Marine plankton species are ecologically important, yet, it remains unclear how they originate in the ocean, where few barriers are apparent to cause the most common type of speciation - divergence in isolation. Here I discuss the use of modern evolutionary genetic approaches to shed light on longstanding questions regarding their evolution.

Keywords: adaptation; genetic diversity; marine plankton; population genetics; speciation.
