Lin Jiang, an assistant professor in the Georgia Tech School of Biology, looks into a microscope at a protist species. In a recent study, Jiang found that extinction occurred more frequently and more rapidly between protist species that were more closely related, providing strong support for Darwin's phylogenetic limiting similarity hypothesis.
