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.

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.

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.

Alternative pathway (cyanobacteria to eukaryota) [PDF]
, 1994 It is quite evident from the fossil record that prokaryotic cells were the first cell type evolved. After a long interval of nearly two billion years eukaryotic cells appeared. There is little doubt that this cell type arose from the bacterial cell. How this occurred has been the subject of much speculation.

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.
