Marine plankton species are ecologically important, yet, it remains unclear how they originate in the ocean, where few barriers are apparent to cause the most common type of speciation - divergence in isolation. Here I discuss the use of modern evolutionary genetic approaches to shed light on longstanding questions regarding their evolution.
海洋浮游生物种类在生态学上非常重要，但它们在海洋中是如何起源的仍然不清楚，因为在海洋中，几乎没有明显的障碍可以导致最常见的物种形成类型——隔离分化。在这里，我讨论了利用现代进化遗传方法来阐明关于它们进化的一些长期存在的问题。
