Coccolithophores are unicellular phytoplankton that produce calcium carbonate coccoliths as an exoskeleton. E miliania huxleyi , the most abundant coccolithophore in the world's ocean, plays a major role in the global carbon cycle by regulating the exchange of CO 2 across the ocean‐atmosphere interface through photosynthesis and calcium carbonate precipitation. As CO 2 concentration is rising in the atmosphere, the ocean is ac...

Common ash is a temperate forest tree with a colonizing behaviour, a discontinuous spatial distribution and a peculiar and poorly known mating system. Microsatellite markers were used to study the genetic structure in natural populations of common ash. Twelve populations located in northeastern France were analysed at five loci. Levels of genetic variability within and among stands were estimated for the seedling and adult sta...
