Genetic diversity and evolution in eukaryotic phytoplankton: revelations from population genetic studies (2017, methodology): “…maintenance of relatively high abundances of many species of phytoplankton result from changes in genotype composition within species (cf. Brand, 1988; Wood, 1988; Lohbeck et al., 2012; Reusch and Boyd, 2013; Kashtan et al., 2014) much as originally suggested for krill (Ayala and Valentine, 1979).”
New insights into the ecology of the globally significant uncultured nitrogen-fixing symbiont UCYN-A (2016, background): “…ecotypes within several highly abundant marine bacteria such as Synechococcus and Prochlorococcus, as well as the less abundant unicellular N2-fixing cyanobacterium Crocosphaera (e.g. Webb et al. 2009, Coleman & Chisholm 2010, Bench et al. 2013, Kashtan et al. 2014, Sohm et al. 2016).”
Linking metagenomics to aquatic microbial ecology and biogeochemical cycles (2019, background): “…a large flexibility of their metabolic capacities, as characteristic of prokaryotes, but on the exploration of innovations in their structural complexity (larger sizes, multicellularity, outer structures) and behaviors (motility and chemotaxis, phagocytosis, interactions; Keeling and Campo 2017).”
Linking pangenomes and metagenomes: the Prochlorococcus metapangenome (2018, methodology): “These limitations require careful interpretations of the observations that emerge from the metapangenomic workflow and awareness that complete understanding of the accessory genes of the environment may require additional efforts ( Kashtan et al., 2014 ).”
