Editorial: Advances in the Understanding of the Commensal Eukaryota and Viruses of the Herbivore Gut [PDF]
Frontiers in Microbiology, 2021 Herbivores play an important role in the survival of humanity, contributing food and textiles, as well as social and economic value. For decades, optimizing the productivity, health, welfare, and environmental footprint of herbivorous animals, particularly ruminant livestock, has been the subject of an extensive, global research effort.

Conditions for minimal intelligence across eukaryota: a cognitive science perspective [PDF]
Frontiers in Psychology, 2015 What is minimal intelligence? Generally speaking, our understanding of intelligence has to do with sets of biological functions of organisms that exhibit a degree of flexibility against contingencies in their environment-induced behavioral repertoire.

Metagenomic Analysis of Fecal Archaea, Bacteria, Eukaryota, and Virus in Przewalski's Horses Following Anthelmintic Treatment [PDF]
Frontiers in Veterinary Science, 2021 Intestinal microbiota is involved in immune response and metabolism of the host. The frequent use of anthelmintic compounds for parasite expulsion causes disturbance to the equine intestinal microbiota. However, most studies were on the effects of such treatment on the intestinal bacterial microbes; none is on the entire microbial community including ...

Mechano-biochemical marine stimulation of inversion, gastrulation, and endomesoderm specification in multicellular Eukaryota [PDF]
Frontiers in Cell and Developmental Biology, 2022 The evolutionary emergence of the primitive gut in Metazoa is one of the decisive events that conditioned the major evolutionary transition, leading to the origin of animal development. It is thought to have been induced by the specification of the endomesoderm (EM) into the multicellular tissue and its invagination (i.e., gastrulation).

Shifts among Eukaryota, Bacteria, and Archaea define the vertical organization of a lake sediment [PDF]
Microbiome, 2017 Background Lake sediments harbor diverse microbial communities that cycle carbon and nutrients while being constantly colonized and potentially buried by organic matter sinking from the water column. The interaction of activity and burial remained largely unexplored in aquatic sediments.

Genomicus: five genome browsers for comparative genomics in eukaryota [PDF]
Nucleic Acids Research, 2012 Genomicus (http://www.dyogen.ens.fr/genomicus/) is a database and an online tool that allows easy comparative genomic visualization in >150 eukaryote genomes. It provides a way to explore spatial information related to gene organization within and between genomes and temporal relationships related to gene and genome evolution.

Parasitism in Eukaryota - Reconstruction of Ancestral and Unavailable Extant States [PDF]
Biodiversity Information Science and Standards, 2018 Parasitism can be defined as an interaction between species in which one of the interaction partners, the parasite, lives in or on the other, the host. The parasite draws food from its host and harms it in the process. According to some estimates, over 40% of all eukaryotes are parasites.

Genes encoding intrinsic disorder in Eukaryota have high GC content [PDF]
Intrinsically Disordered Proteins, 2016 We analyze a correlation between the GC content in genes of 12 eukaryotic species and the level of intrinsic disorder in their corresponding proteins. Comprehensive computational analysis has revealed that the disordered regions in eukaryotes are encoded by the GC-enriched gene regions and that this enrichment is correlated with the amount of disorder ...

Early evolution of the Eukaryota [PDF]
Palaeontology, 2014 AbstractThe evolution of eukaryotes represents one of the most fundamental transitions in the history of life on Earth; however, there is little consensus as to when or over what timescale it occurred. Review of recent hypotheses and data in a phylogenetic context yields a broadly coherent account.

Analysis on evolutionary relationship of amylases from archaea, bacteria and eukaryota [PDF]
World Journal of Microbiology and Biotechnology, 2016 Amylase is one of the earliest characterized enzymes and has many applications in clinical and industrial settings. In biotechnological industries, the amylase activity is enhanced through modifying amylase structure and through cloning and expressing targeted amylases in different species.
