Metabarcoding and metabolome analyses of copepod grazing reveal feeding preference and linkage to metabolite classes in dynamic microbial plankton communities [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
In order to characterize copepod feeding in relation to microbial plankton community dynamics, we combined metabarcoding and metabolome analyses during a 22-day seawater mesocosm experiment.

Unclear host taxonomy hinders parasite studies: An up‐to‐date checklist of the protozoan and metazoan parasites of Phoxinus minnows (Teleostei: Leuciscidae)

open access: yesJournal of Fish Biology, Volume 105, Issue 6, Page 1501-1539, December 2024.
Abstract Phoxinus minnows are small freshwater fish found throughout Eurasia. The taxonomy of this genus is still under investigation, and new species are regularly described. They are frequently introduced outside their native range due to their use as live bait for angling, and such fish introductions can have diverse impacts on the recipient areas ...

Geochemical and microbiological variability of aerobic and anaerobic sediments along a bifurcated sulphate‐saturated brine spring in western Canada

open access: yesThe Depositional Record, Volume 10, Issue 5, Page 637-669, November 2024.
A tufa mound developed in north‐east Alberta is characterised by an unusual emplacement of a gypsum caprock. This two‐tiered architecture resulted from the bicarbonate‐saturated groundwater flow along Upper Devonian limestone being redirected deeper and encountering the halite–anhydrite dissolution trend within the underlying Prairie Evaporite ...

Use of eDNA and conventional sampling methods to survey rock pool (gnamma) biodiversity on granite inselbergs

open access: yesAustral Ecology, Volume 49, Issue 8, August 2024.
Environmental DNA sampling coupled with high‐throughput sequencing is increasingly recognized as a useful method for assessing biodiversity with potential applications in terrestrial environments. Rock pools on granite inselbergs support diverse aquatic communities, yet the application of eDNA to document their biodiversity is lacking.

Systematic positions and taxonomy of two freshwater ciliates found in China, with establishments of one new family and two new species (Ciliophora, Oligohymenophorea)

open access: yesEuropean Journal of Taxonomy
The morphology and molecular phylogeny of two freshwater ciliates, Pseudotetrahymena orientalis gen. et sp. nov. and Cyclidium paravorax sp. nov., collected from Harbin, Northeast China, were investigated based on morphology of live specimens and ...

Traits mediate environmental responses of benthic ciliates in dynamic coastal habitats

open access: yesDiversity and Distributions, Volume 30, Issue 8, August 2024.
Abstract Aim Understanding how species' traits mediate environmental responses provides a mechanistic perspective on community assembly processes. Although traits that influence the response of multicellular organisms to environments have been studied, the identification of such traits in unicellular organisms, like ciliates, is underexplored.

Polymorphism within Paramecium sexaurelia (Ciliophora, Oligohymenophorea) and Description of a New Stand of the Species in China

open access: yesFolia Biologica, 2007
The presence of Paramecium sexaurelia from the Paramecium aurelia complex was recorded for the first time in China (Beijing). RAPD fingerprints (band patterns) of P. sexaurelia strains, the new strain from China and others from Asia, as well as from Europe and Puerto Rico, showed polymorphism within the species as several groups of genotypes ...

Unraveling the Stratification of an Iron-Oxidizing Microbial Mat by Metatranscriptomics

open access: yes, 2014
International audienceA metatranscriptomic approach was used to study community gene expression in a naturally occurring iron-rich microbial mat. Total microbial community RNA was reversely transcribed and sequenced by pyrosequencing. Characterization of
