Extreme Lewontin's paradox in ubiquitous marine phytoplankton species
- Abstract:
-
Larger populations are expected to have larger genetic diversity. However, as pointed out by Lewontin in 1974, the range of population sizes exceeds the range of genetic diversity by many orders of magnitude (aka “Lewontin’s paradox”, LP). The reasons for LP remain obscure. Here I report an extreme case of LP in astronomically large populations of the ubiquitous unicellular marine phytoplankton species Emiliania huxleyi (Haptophyta) – the species that accounts for 10 to 20% of primary product...
