Protist taxonomic and functional diversity in soil, freshwater and marine ecosystems
Environment International, 2021 Protists dominate eukaryotic diversity and play key functional roles in all ecosystems, particularly by catalyzing carbon and nutrient cycling. To date, however, a comparative analysis of their taxonomic and functional diversity that compares the major ...

Microplastics and phagotrophic soil protists: evidence of ingestion
Soil Organisms, 2021 Microplastics (MPs) can now be found in all the Earth’s biomes, thereby representing a global change phenomenon with largely unknown consequences for biodiversity and ecosystem functioning.

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2020 The restructuring of planktonic communities toward an increasing share of small individuals is not only expected, but also already observed consequence of warming in the rapidly changing Arctic.

Marine Ecology, EarlyView., 2023 Abstract Microplastic input into the ocean represents an increasing threat to marine biota and may endanger the functioning of marine ecosystems, especially in semi‐enclosed basins, such as the Mediterranean Sea. The size spectrum of microplastics overlaps with that of nano‐microplankton (2–200 μm), thus potentially misleading suspension‐feeding ...

The First Identification of a Narnavirus in Bigyra, a Marine Protist
Microbes and Environments, 2023 Current information on the diversity and evolution of eukaryotic RNA viruses is biased towards host lineages, such as animals, plants, and fungi. Although protists represent the majority of eukaryotic diversity, our understanding of the protist RNA virosphere is still limited.

Long-term patterns of an interconnected core marine microbiota
Environmental Microbiome, 2022 Background Ocean microbes constitute ~ 70% of the marine biomass, are responsible for ~ 50% of the Earth’s primary production and are crucial for global biogeochemical cycles.

Marine Protists: A Hitchhiker’s Guide to their Role in the Marine Microbiome
, 2022 Diversity within marine microbiomes spans the three domains of life: microbial eukaryotes (i.e., protists), bacteria, and archaea. Although protists were the first microbes observed by microscopy, it took the advent of molecular techniques to begin to resolve their complex and reticulate evolutionary history.

Microorganisms, 2023 Microbes in marine sediments constitute up to five-sixths of the planet’s total biomass, but their diversity is little explored, especially for those forming associations with unicellular protists.
