Accelerated diversification is related to life history and locomotion in a hyperdiverse lineage of microbial eukaryotes (Diatoms, Bacillariophyta)
Patterns of species richness are commonly linked to life history strategies. In diatoms, an
exceptionally diverse lineage of photosynthetic heterokonts important for global …

Local adaptation and oceanographic connectivity patterns explain genetic differentiation of a marine diatom across the North Sea–Baltic Sea salinity gradient
Drivers of population genetic structure are still poorly understood in marine micro‐
organisms. We exploited the North Sea–Baltic Sea transition for investigating the seascape …
