Marine phytoplankton play important roles in the global ecosystem, with a limited number of
cosmopolitan keystone species driving their biomass. Recent studies have revealed that …

Many organisms possess multiple discrete genomes (ie nuclear and organellar), which are
inherited separately and may have unique and even conflicting evolutionary histories …

Mountainous regions provide a multitude of habitats and opportunities for complex
speciation scenarios. Hybridization leading to chloroplast capture, which can be revealed by …

Abstract Background and Aims The California Floristic Province (CA-FP) is the most species-
rich region of North America north of Mexico. One of several proposed hypotheses …

Coccolithophores are the most abundant calcifying organisms in modern oceans and are
important primary producers in many marine ecosystems. Their ability to generate a cellular …

Haptophyte algae, including coccolithophores, play key roles in global carbon cycling and
ecosystem. They exhibit exceptional morphological and functional diversity. However, their …

The increasing use of genome-scale data has significantly facilitated phylogenetic analyses,
contributing to the dissection of the underlying evolutionary mechanisms that shape …

Background & Aims: Lineage sorting (LS) refers to the process in which multiple populations
are descended from a common ancestral population or species and are now reproductively …

The haptophyte Isochrysis galbana is considered as a promising source for food
supplements due to its rich fucoxanthin and polyunsaturated fatty acids content. Here, the I …

Gephyrocapsa huxleyi (formerly Emiliania huxleyi), a key coccolithophore alga influencing
the global carbon cycle through photosynthesis and calcification, undergoes a …
