Biogeographical and biodiversity patterns of planktonic microeukaryotes along the tropical western to eastern Pacific Ocean transect revealed by metabarcoding
ABSTRACTMicroeukaryotic plankton (0.2–200 µm), which are morphologically and genetically highly diverse, play a crucial role in ocean productivity and carbon consumption. The Pacific Ocean (PO), one of the world’s largest oligotrophic regions, remains largely unexplored in terms of the biogeography...
