Abstract:Parmales (Bolidophyceae) is a minor eukaryotic phytoplankton group, sister to diatoms, that exists as two distinct forms of unicellular organisms: silicified cells and naked flagellates. Since their discovery, many field studies of Parmales have been performed, but their global distribution remains under-investigated. Here, we compile over 3,000 marine DNA metabarcoding datasets targeting the V4 region of the 18S rRNA gene from the EukBank database. By linking this large dataset with the latest morphological a… Show more
