Diversity and ecology of Radiolaria in modern oceans

Diversité et écologie des Radiolaires dans les océans modernes

Résumé

Among the many inhabitants of planktonic communities, several lineages have biomineralized intricate skeletons. These have existed for millions of years and include the Radiolaria, a group of marine protists, many of which bear delicate mineral skeletons of different natures. Radiolaria are well known for their paleontological signatures, but little is known about the ecology of modern assemblages. They are found from polar to tropical regions, in the sunlit layers of the ocean down to the deep and cold bathypelagic. They are closely involved in the biogeochemical cycles of silica, carbon and strontium sulfate, carrying important amounts of such elements to the deep ocean. However, relatively little is known on the actual extent of genetic diversity or biogeographic patterns. The rapid emergence and acceptance of molecular approaches have nevertheless led to major advances in our understanding of diversity within and evolutionary relationships between major radiolarian groups. Here, we review the state of knowledge relating to the classification, diversity and ecology of extant radiolarian orders, highlighting the substantial gaps in our understanding of the extent of their contribution to marine biodiversity and their role in marine food webs.
