21. We thank D. Marie for assistance with flow cytometty experiments. This work was supported by the European Union project PICODIV and by the Mowing sources of funds: PICMANCHE (Region Bretagne), CNRS-Aventis Foundation, and PICOCEAN (Gis-Génomique). Arctic sampling was made possible with support from the Canadian Climate Change Action Fund, Fisheries and Oceans; the Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council, Canada; and funds from the ARTIC program, Spain. F.N. designed the probes and did the fluorescent in situ hybridization work. Both F.N. and K.V. wrote earlier versions of this paper. K.V. and L.M. provided the sequences from the Helgoland site, K.R. and D.V. those from the Roscoff sampling site, R.M. those from Blanes, and C.L. those from the Arctic. K.T. performed the ChemScan analyses. LM. performed the phylogenetic analyses and owes thanks to A. Culham for useful discussions about appropriate analytical methods and to S. Frickenhaus for establishing parallel processing and implementing the complex Bayesian analyses. All authors discussed the results and commented on the manuscript Full-length sequences have been deposited at GenBank with the accession numbers EF050072, AY426835, DQ222872 to DQ222800, DQ060523, and DQ0605236.
