The global genetic diversity of planktonic foraminifera
International Symposium on Foraminifera (FORAMS 2023), 26-30 June 2023, Perugia, Italy The sequencing of the ribosomal RNA gene of planktonic foraminifera has challenged the morphological species concept since the 1990s when specimens of a single morphospecies showed large divergences among their se...
