Moss diatoms show regional structuring, high potential endemism, and an inverse latitudinal diversity gradient in the Arctic

open access: yesEcography, EarlyView.
Microorganisms perform essential functions in Arctic terrestrial ecosystems. Yet, their ecology and biogeography are poorly understood, despite being necessary to predict microbial responses to future climate change. Here, we provide the first large‐scale floristic and biogeographic study of the moss diatom flora in the tundra regions of the North ...
