Migratory Songbirds as Potential Ectozoochorous Protist Dispersal Vectors. [PDF]
Ecol EvolWe demonstrate that migratory songbirds carry diatoms (Bacillariophyta) in their plumage, revealing an unexpected avian–algal association. All seven bird specimens we examined contained diatoms—224 frustules representing 25 genera and 9 orders, primarily freshwater, benthic pennates—some retaining chloroplasts prior to digestion and mounting (implying ...

Antagonistic and synergistic responses to solar ultraviolet radiation and increased temperature of phytoplankton from cenotes (sink holes) of the Yucatán Peninsula, México [PDF]
, 2015 Cenotes (sink holes) are karstic formations characteristic of the Yucatán Peninsula and are the main source of fresh water in the region. Because of their tropical location, they receive high levels of solar radiation and are exposed to high temperatures.
