Eco-phenotypic feedback loops differ in multistressor environments. [PDF]
Abstract Natural communities are exposed to multiple environmental stressors, which simultaneously impact the population and trait dynamics of the species embedded within these communities. Given that certain traits, such as body size, are known to rapidly respond to environmental change, and given that they can strongly influence the density of ...

A Reassessment of Phylogenetic Relationships in Class Oligohymenophorea (Protista, Ciliophora) Based on Updated Multigene Data. [PDF]
We report 97 new sequences, including SSU‐rRNA, ITS1‐5.8S‐ITS2 rRNA, LSU‐rRNA, mitochondrial cytochrome oxidase c subunit I, and mitochondrial small subunit ribosomal RNA genes of 30 oligohymenophorean populations. A comprehensive analysis of class Oligohymenophorea is conducted, encompassing 250 populations.

Physiology and metabolism of eukaryotic microalgae involved in aquatic photosymbioses. [PDF]
Summary Symbiosis between eukaryotic microalgae and heterotrophic hosts is a widespread, phylogenetically convergent, and ecologically important phenomenon in aquatic ecosystems. Partners include taxonomically diverse microalgae interacting with multicellular or unicellular hosts in marine or freshwater environments.

Crosstalk between G-protein and Ca2+ pathways switches intracellular cAMP levels [PDF]
Cyclic adenosine monophosphate and cyclic guanosine monophosphate are universal intracellular messengers whose concentrations are regulated by molecular networks comprised of different isoforms of the synthases adenylate cyclase or guanylate cyclase and ...

An electrophysiological and kinematic model of Paramecium, the "swimming neuron".
Paramecium is a large unicellular organism that swims in fresh water using cilia. When stimulated by various means (mechanically, chemically, optically, thermally), it often swims backward then turns and swims forward again in a new direction: this is ...

Survival Rate and Growth of Fighting Fish Larvae (Betta splendens Regan) Fed on Various Live Foods
Larval of fighting fish (Betta splendens Regan) requires precise live foods for its growth and survival. In this experiment, fish larvae were fed on either Paramecium + Artemia, Paramecium + Artemia + Tubifex, Paramecium + Moina, or Paramecium + Moina +
