House fly larval grazing alters dairy cattle manure microbial communities

BMC Microbiology, 2021
Background House fly larvae (Musca domestica L.) require a live microbial community to successfully develop. Cattle manure is rich in organic matter and microorganisms, comprising a suitable substrate for larvae who feed on both the decomposing manure ...

Morphology, Biometry, and Taxonomy of Freshwater and Marine Interstitial Cyphoderia (Cercozoa: Euglyphida) [PDF]

Journal of Eukaryotic Microbiology, 2009
ABSTRACT. Good taxonomy is essential for ecological, biogeographical, and evolutionary studies of any group of organisms. Therefore, we performed detailed light‐ and scanning electron microscopy investigations on the shell ultrastructure and biometric analyses of the morphometric variability of five freshwater and marine interstitial testate amoebae ...

Environmental DNA metabarcoding of intertidal meiofauna sheds light on its potential for habitat discovery

Ecological Indicators, 2023
Benthic meiofauna is a fundamental component of food webs and nutrient exchange of marine ecosystems. However, its diversity pattern and ecology of intertidal meiofauna remain poorly understood because the studies are often constrained by morphology ...

Protist diversity and community assembly in surface sediments of the South China Sea

MicrobiologyOpen, 2019
Protists are pivotal components of marine ecosystems in terms of their high diversity, but protist communities have been poorly explored in benthic environments.

High Diversity Revealed in Leaf‐Associated Protists (Rhizaria: Cercozoa) of Brassicaceae [PDF]

Journal of Eukaryotic Microbiology, 2016
AbstractThe largest biological surface on earth is formed by plant leaves. These leaf surfaces are colonized by a specialized suite of leaf‐inhabiting microorganisms, recently termed “phyllosphere microbiome”. Microbial prey, however, attract microbial predators.

Morphology and molecular phylogeny of a marine interstitial tetraflagellate with putative endosymbionts: Auranticordis quadriverberis n. gen. et sp. (Cercozoa)

BMC Microbiology, 2008
Background Comparative morphological studies and environmental sequencing surveys indicate that marine benthic environments contain a diverse assortment of microorganisms that are just beginning to be explored and characterized.

Protistan Plankton Responses to Variable Light and Upwelling in the Peruvian Humboldt Current System: Insights Into Community Dynamics Under Environmental Change. [PDF]

Ecol Evol
Our study reveals (based on experiments) the shifts in protistan plankton communities, serving as energy and organic matter source for higher trophic levels if the Humboldt Current System is affected by climate change as predicted by current models. This may have profound effects on fisheries in the Humboldt Current System.

Spatial composition differences and diversity of gut eukaryotes in white-lipped deer in Xizang, China [PDF]

Zoologia (Curitiba)
The microbiome plays an important role in human health and biodiversity conservation. However, the gut microbial composition of many wild animals is still unknown due to the difficulty in sampling.
