Response to Comment on "The Evolution of Modern Eukaryotic Phytoplankton"

Falkowski et al . ([ 1 ][1]) examined when, why, and how a diverse group of eukaryotic phytoplankton, which overwhelmingly contain red plastids, rose to ecological prominence in Mesozoic time and continue to dominate the contemporary oceans. Our analysis included the fossil record of thecate
