A latitudinal diversity gradient in planktonic marine bacteria (2008, background): “Fenchel (28) suggests that genetic variation of the sort measured in this study could represent within-species variation and therefore be essentially ecologically neutral.”
Does size matter for dispersal distance (2007, background): “An analysis of calibrated genetic data among diverse taxa may provide the best test, but must rely on indirect estimates of dispersal distance with their requisite assumptions (Bohonak, 1999; Avise, 2004) and genetic estimates of microbial species identity, despite the misgivings of Fenchel (2005) ”
Dispersal, survival and delayed growth of benthic foraminiferal propagules (2010, background): “Are protistan biogeographic patterns characterized fundamentally by cosmopolitan distributions as outlined in the “ubiquity model” (e.g., Fenchel, 2005; Finlay et al., 2006), or rather does the “moderate endemicitymodel” prevail (Foissner, 2006;Weisse, 2008)?”
Protistan Grazing on Marine Bacterioplankton (2008, background): “It is unlikely that it represents simply the accumulation of neutral mutations, as has been suggested (Fenchel 2005), since small changes in the 18S rDNA might imply millions of years of evolutionary divergence and thus are signs of other important genomic changes.”
Molecular and morphological methods for identifying plankton: what makes a successful marriage? (2009, background): “…be developed and extended where possible, that serious effort be committed to ensuring correct identification of species when DNA sequences are published and that new species of plankton should not be named based on morphology alone without supporting molecular information, especially for protists.”
No biogeographical pattern for a root-associated fungal species complex (2011, background): “This observation led researchers to hypothesize that a hidden biogeography of microorganisms may exist, and the influence of species definition became a controversial issue in studying the biogeography of microbes (Fenchel, 2005; Taylor et al., 2006; Peay et al., 2008).”
