A Review of the Effects of Freshwater Habitat Quality on Aquatic & Semi‐Aquatic Turtles

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 8, August 2026.
This literature review aims to provide a comprehensive review of the relationship between freshwater turtles and their aquatic environments. We also highlight areas which have been over‐ or under‐studied and offer recommendations for future research. ABSTRACT Freshwater turtles and terrapins require an aquatic habitat as part of their natural ecology ...

GERMINACIÓN DE ESTADOS DE RESISTENCIA DE DIATOMEAS Y DINOFLAGELADOS EN SEDIMENTOS MARINOS DE DOS ÁREAS DE SURGENCIA DE CHILE GERMINATION OF RESTING STAGES OF DIATOMS AND DINOFLAGELLATES IN MARINE SEDIMENTS FROM TWO UPWELLING AREAS OF CHILE

Gayana: Botanica, 2009
Con el fin de evaluar la potencial germinación de los estados de resistencia de las diatomeas y dinofiagelados preservados en sedimentos superficiales, se cultivaron bajo condiciones de laboratorio sedimentos de las bahías de Mejillones (23° S) y ...

Morphological and trophic coupling distinguishes coral clades along a light gradient

Limnology and Oceanography, Volume 71, Issue 8, August 2026.
Abstract Light availability is critical to the growth and survival of most scleractinian corals due to their endosymbiotic relationship with photosynthetic dinoflagellates. Natural light gradients are expected to be associated with shifts in coral physiology, morphology, and trophic strategy.

Warming effects on marine microzooplankton and mixoplankton: Physiological responses, community reorganization, and implications for a warming ocean

Limnology and Oceanography, Volume 71, Issue 8, August 2026.
Abstract Microzooplankton and mixoplankton are key regulators of marine food webs, yet their responses to ocean warming and thermal extremes remain incompletely integrated across physiological, community, and ecosystem scales. This synthesis examines how temperature shapes the physiology, trophic strategies, and community dynamics of these protistan ...

Finding Plankton: A Marine Science Scavenger Hunt for Local Communities

Limnology and Oceanography Bulletin, Volume 35, Issue 3, Page 87-92, August 2026.
Abstract At a time of increasing political polarization and rapidly accelerating climate change, it is important to build public knowledge and empathy toward nature to foster behavioral changes; however, addressing a knowledge deficit can be insufficient to affect these changes.

Mitochondrial Genome Reduction and Accelerated Evolution in Planktonic Foraminiferans

MicrobiologyOpen, Volume 15, Issue 4, August 2026.
The mitochondrial genomes of the eukaryotic lineage Retaria (Foraminifera and Radiolaria) show reductions in multiple gene categories, including complex I, transfer RNAs (tRNAs), ribosomal proteins, and ribosomal RNAs. In planktonic foraminifera, this reduction is even more pronounced, with the potential loss of atp and other genes.

Spatio-Temporal Pattern of Dinoflagellates Along the Tropical Eastern Pacific Coast (Ecuador)

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2019
Among marine phytoplankton, dinoflagellates are a key component in marine ecosystems as primary producers. Some species synthesize toxins, associated with human seafood poisoning, and mortality in marine organisms.

Benchmarking Full‐Length ITS Metabarcoding Across Illumina 2 × 500, PacBio, and Oxford Nanopore Sequencing Using Mock and Soil Communities

Molecular Ecology Resources, Volume 26, Issue 6, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Metabarcoding is a powerful tool for biodiversity comparisons, where standard‐size DNA barcodes (> 500 bases) offer better taxonomic resolution than shorter ones. Still, the choice of sequencing platforms and bioinformatics pipelines may strongly affect inferred diversity due to various technical biases. We assessed the relative performance of

Accurate Identification of Key Groups of Microeukaryotes Using Multimodal Deep Learning: An Integrated Classification Model Combining Morphological and Molecular Data

Molecular Ecology Resources, Volume 26, Issue 6, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Traditional classification of flagellates (i.e., flagellated protists) relies on morphological traits or a single molecular marker, which suffer from subjectivity and limited data sources. This study proposes a multimodal deep learning model, Residual Multi‐Feature Attention‐50 (ResMFA50), that integrates photomicrographs and small subunit ...

Geographic Variability of Fish Carcass–Associated Microbial Communities

Environmental Microbiology Reports, Volume 18, Issue 4, August 2026.
When sardine carcasses (A) were deployed across seven Japanese tidal flats (B), both bacterial (D) and ciliophoran assemblages (C) varied substantially among sites. Yet, carcass‐associated shifts (blue) were overshadowed by regional variation (red), indicating that local species pools and environmental conditions—rather than carcass inputs alone ...
