Importance of ciliates as food for fish larvae in a shallow sea bay and a large shallow lake

European Journal of Protistology, 2019
We estimated the consumption of planktonic ciliates by fish larvae in the Väinameri Sea (a shallow semi-enclosed bay of the Baltic Sea) and Lake Võrtsjärv (a shallow and eutrophic lake).

Biocommunication of Ciliates

Cambridge International Law Journal, 2016
This is the first coherent description of all levels of communication of ciliates. Ciliates are highly sensitive organisms that actively compete for environmental resources.

Uptake and accumulation of microplastic particles by two freshwater ciliates isolated from a local river in South Africa.

Environmental Research, 2021
Microplastics are considered environmental pollutants of serious concern. In freshwater environments, they can affect aquatic biota and accumulate along the food web.

Ciliates as model organisms for the ecotoxicological risk assessment of heavy metals: A meta-analysis.

Ecotoxicology and Environmental Safety, 2020
Ciliates are key components of aquatic ecosystems, significantly contributing to the decomposition of organic matter and energy transfer to higher trophic levels.

Extremely high copy numbers and polymorphisms of the rDNA operon estimated from single cell analysis of oligotrich and peritrich ciliates.

Protist, 2013
11 pages, 3 figures, 2 tablesThe copy number and sequence variation of the ribosomal DNA (rDNA) operon are of functional significance in evolution and ecology of organisms.
