Why mixotrophy flourished in water but rarely on land
Frontiers in Ecology and EvolutionMixotrophy, the ability to combine photosynthesis with heterotrophic acquisition of carbon or nutrients, is now recognized as a central feature of aquatic microbial food webs and a recurrent strategy in several protist and simple animal lineages.

Sea Slug—Algal Chloroplast Symbiosis: Towards an Integrated Understanding of Long-Term Chloroplast Functioning in an Animal [PDF]
, 2012 Photosynthesis plays a fundamental role in understanding plant growth and productivity. The chloroplast, the organelle of photosynthesis, evolved following the endosymbiotic uptake of a cyanobacterium and massive gene transfer.

Field and laboratory observations of two Gulf of Maine sacoglossans [PDF]
, 2012 The ecology of the sacoglossan Alderia modesta and its ability to retain active chloroplasts from the yellow-green alga Vaucheria spp. was examined with field and laboratory studies. Field surveys found no A. modesta, because Vaucheria spp.

Metabarcoding Insights Into the Trophic Behavior and Identity of Intertidal Benthic Foraminifera [PDF]
, 2019 Foraminifera are ubiquitous marine protists with an important role in the benthic carbon cycle. However, morphological observations often fail to resolve their exact taxonomic placement and there is a lack of field studies on their particular trophic ...
