Widespread decoupling between abundance and genetic diversity, and strong local genetic structuring in marine unicellular eukaryotes

María Martínez-Ríos, Pablo G. Pena, Iñaki Ruiz‐Trillo…·Rubén González‐Miguéns

The paper examines the relationship between abundance, genetic diversity, and spatial connectivity in marine eukaryotes using environmental DNA data, finding widespread decoupling between abundance and diversity, especially in unicellular organisms.

Quaternary ice ages shaped protists phylogeography: the case of Arcellinida in the Iberian Peninsula

Rubén González‐Miguéns, Emilio Cano, Enrique Lara

The study examines how Quaternary ice ages influenced the phylogeography of Arcellinida protists in the Iberian Peninsula, finding genetic diversity hotspots aligned with glacial refugia and supporting the GLQ paradigm for microbial eukaryotes.

Protists Exhibit Stronger and More Recent Oceanic Genetic Structure than Archaeplastida and Metazoa

Rubén González‐Miguéns, Àlex Gàlvez-Morante, Guifré Torruella…·Iñaki Ruiz‐Trillo

This study shows protists have stronger and more recent oceanic genetic structure than Archaeplastida and Metazoa, suggesting human-mediated dispersal influences their distribution.
