Genetic diversity of marine forests results from complex interactions of eco-evolutionary processes. Among them, oceanographic connectivity driven by dispersal through water transport is hypothesized to play a pivotal role, yet its relative contribution has not been addressed at the global scale. Here, we test how present-day oceanographic connectivity is correlated with the distribution of genetic diversity of marine forests across the ocean.

揭示海洋连通性在全球范围内海洋森林遗传多样性分布中的作用


海洋森林的遗传多样性是生态进化过程复杂相互作用的结果。其中，由水运扩散驱动的海洋连通性被认为发挥着关键作用，但其相对贡献尚未在全球范围内得到解决。在这里，我们测试了当今海洋连通性与整个海洋海洋森林遗传多样性分布的相关性。
