Colomban's main interest is to better understand evolutionary dynamics in open ocean micro-plankton. What is the extent of gene flow and adaptations among oceanic planktonic species with worldwide distributions? When did contemporary species originate? and through which speciation process(es) ? Colomban pursues those "species-level" questions using molecular, morphological, and paleontological tools to study the pelagic protists having the best-known morphologies in both the modern and past oceans : the coccolithophores and the foraminifers. He is currently coordinating two large projects : BioMarks and Tara-Oceans. |
