Peritrichs (Ciliophora, Peritrichia) in the Danube: Keystone Organisms in the Formation of Diverse Protist Biofilms. [PDF]
Colonial peritrichs act as physical ecosystem engineers in middle Danube biofilms, generating three‐dimensional structures during 1–28 days of colonisation. Their surfaces host filter feeder epibionts (choanoflagellates, other peritrichs, rotifers), expanding filtration capacity and promoting functional group establishment including swimming and ...

From Mud to Meat: Comparative Metabarcoding Reveals Two Different Evolutionary Paths to Carnivory in a Group of Meiofaunal Annelids. [PDF]
ABSTRACT Evolutionary transitions to carnivory represent profound shifts in feeding mode that are often accompanied by widespread changes in organismal function, behaviour and ecology. Such transitions have evolved numerous times among animals, and predator–prey interactions have been major drivers of animal evolution.

Medicinal and Aromatic Plant Oils in Aquafeeds: Mechanistic Perspectives on Growth Promotion, Immunomodulation, and Stress Resilience. [PDF]
The aquaculture industry is increasingly transitioning toward sustainable aquafeeds, driven by the economic and environmental necessity to replace marine‐derived fishmeal and fish oil with plant‐ and insect‐based alternatives. This nutritional shift introduces physiological challenges, accelerating the search for natural, sustainable functional ...

ABSTRACT Multicellularity evolved multiple times in the history of life, with most reviewers agreeing that it appeared at least 20 times in eukaryotes. However, a specific list of multicellular eukaryotes with clear criteria for inclusion has not yet been published.

Diseases of the giant river prawn Macrobrachium rosenbergii: A review for a growing industry
Abstract The giant river prawn, Macrobrachium rosenbergii, is a major focus of aquaculture in tropical and sub‐tropical regions around the globe. Over the last 30 years, culture of M. rosenbergii has increased exponentially as demand has risen both for domestic consumption and for international export trade.

A global review of problematic and pathogenic parasites of farmed tilapia
Abstract Over the past 80 years, tilapia have been translocated globally for aquaculture; active production is recorded in >124 countries. Of 7 million tonnes of tilapia produced in aquaculture, 79% is from 79 countries outside the natural range of tilapia.

Summary Heterotrophic nanoflagellates (HNF) and ciliates are major protistan planktonic bacterivores. The term HNF, however, describes a functional guild only and, in contrast to the morphologically distinguishable ciliates, does not reflect the phylogenetic diversity of flagellates in aquatic ecosystems.
