Popis:	Biogeography of microbial eukaryotes is widely debated. While some claim that all microbial organisms have a cosmopolitan distribution, other data suggest evidence of endemism. To assess these hypotheses for the distribution of ciliates in the orders Choreotrichia and Oligotrichia, coastal community samples were taken from Long Island Sound. We are obtaining sequences of SSU rRNA, ITS rRNA, and mitochondrial genes to use as molecular markers for assessing gene flow across time and space. These data will serve as a basis for continued study of phylogeographic distribution of Choreotrichia and Oligotrichia.
