Insights into the origin of metazoan filopodia and microvilli. [PDF]

, 2013
Filopodia are fine actin-based cellular projections used for both environmental sensing and cell motility, and they are essential organelles for metazoan cells. In this study, we reconstruct the origin of metazoan filopodia and microvilli.

Multigene phylogeny and cell evolution of chromist infrakingdom Rhizaria: contrasting cell organisation of sister phyla Cercozoa and Retaria

Protoplasma, 2018
Infrakingdom Rhizaria is one of four major subgroups with distinct cell body plans that comprise eukaryotic kingdom Chromista. Unlike other chromists, Rhizaria are mostly heterotrophic flagellates, amoebae or amoeboflagellates, commonly with reticulose ...

Revealing the Physiological Patterns of Dinoflagellates in North‐Eastern Adriatic Phytoplankton

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 1, January 2026.
Using metatranscriptomics, we have described the annual taxonomic and functional succession of the phytoplankton community in the north‐eastern Adriatic Sea, taking into account the effects of environmental factors on succession. The results obtained in this way represent the first comprehensive physiological characterisation of the phytoplankton ...

Mass mortalities in bivalve populations: A review of the edible cockle Cerastoderma edule (L.) [PDF]

, 2014
Mass mortalities in bivalve populations have long been of particular concern, especially when the species supports a commercial fishery or is of conservation interest.

Soil microbial communities shift along an urban gradient in Berlin, Germany

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2022
The microbial communities inhabiting urban soils determine the functioning of these soils, in regards to their ability to cycle nutrients and support plant communities. In an increasingly urbanized world these properties are of the utmost importance, and

Environmental Gradients and Ecological Processes Are Main Drivers of Eukaryotic Diversity in the Eastern Red Sea

Environmental DNA, Volume 8, Issue 1, January–February 2026.
Across 266 water column samples, COI eDNA metabarcoding detected 4298 eukaryotic MOTUs spanning 40 phyla in the Eastern Red Sea. Community composition varied strongly across depth and regions, revealing hidden biodiversity patterns and providing a baseline for conservation‐oriented monitoring in a future‐ocean analogue.

Diversity of protist genera in periphyton of tufa-depositing karstic river

Annals of Microbiology, 2023
Purpose In aquatic ecosystems, protists play a crucial role and cover numerous ecological functions. The karstic Krka River (Croatia) is a unique hotspot for high diversity of aquatic organisms, especially protists.

Characterising Soil Eukaryotic Diversity From NEON Metagenomics Datasets

Molecular Ecology Resources, Volume 26, Issue 1, January 2026.
ABSTRACT Belowground eukaryotic diversity serves a vital role in soil ecosystem functioning, yet the composition, structure, and macroecology of these communities are significantly under‐characterized. The National Ecological Observatory Network (NEON) provides publicly available datasets from long‐term surveillance of numerous taxa and ecosystem ...

Foraminifera and Cercozoa share a common origin according to RNA polymerase II phylogenies [PDF]

INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF SYSTEMATIC AND EVOLUTIONARY MICROBIOLOGY, 2003
Phylogenetic analysis of small and large subunits of rDNA genes suggested that Foraminifera originated early in the evolution of eukaryotes, preceding the origin of other rhizopodial protists. This view was recently challenged by the analysis of actin and ubiquitin protein sequences, which revealed a close relationship between Foraminifera and Cercozoa,

Ecological and Genomic Attributes of Novel Bacterial Taxa That Thrive in Subsurface Soil Horizons. [PDF]

, 2019
While most bacterial and archaeal taxa living in surface soils remain undescribed, this problem is exacerbated in deeper soils, owing to the unique oligotrophic conditions found in the subsurface.
