Latitudinal diversity patterns of pelagic copepods in the Pacific using metagenetic analysis

Latitudinal diversity patterns of pelagic copepods in the Pacific were investigated from 40?S to 68?N along 170?W using metagenetic analysis of nuclear large subunit ribosomal DNA.

本研究采用核大亚基核糖体DNA（nuclear large subunit ribosomal DNA）的宏遗传学分析（metagenetic analysis）方法，对沿西经170°经线、南纬40°至北纬68°的太平洋海域内的浮游桡足类（pelagic copepods）的纬度多样性分布格局开展了调查。
