Increasing human activity and environmental changes have a complex impact on the evolutionary histories of most biomes. How environmental changes affect genetic evolution of wild populations has become a frequent research theme of biological ecology. Molecular techniques, in conjunction with palaeogenetics, facilitate understanding of the relationship between the genetic structure of wild populations and environmental change....

The growth and development of phytoplankton are influenced by physico-chemical parameters, which can also affect the spatial distribution of phytoplankton community structure. However, it is unclear whether environmental heterogeneity caused by multiple physico-chemical factors can affect the spatial distribution of phytoplankton and its functional groups. In this study, we investigated the seasonal variation and spatial distr...
