Phylogeography of unicellular plankton, as representative pelagic organisms, is fundamental to understanding their evolution in the ocean. Historically, these microplankton were believed to have cosmopolitan distributions achieved through passive transport

Plankton tows and surface sediments from the Japan Sea, a marginal sea of the northwestern Pacific, were examined to study the depth distribution of modern radiolarians. The depth distribution patterns between the living assemblage in the water-column
