Summary

This work quantified the role of selection, dispersal and drift in structuring surface-ocean prokaryotic and picoeukaryotic assemblages by using community DNA-sequence data collected during the global Malaspina expedition and found that dispersal limitation was the dominant process structuring picoeUKaryotic communities, while a balanced combination of dispersal limitations, selection and drift shaped proKaryotic counterparts.
