Contribution of microcosm experiments to conservation science
Conservation Biology, EarlyView.Abstract Microcosms, or miniature experimental systems, have been used to develop models and theories in ecology. However, their contribution to conservation science is unclear. We explored the application, design, and impact of microcosms in conservation science from 469 systematically identified articles published from 1986 to 2023.

Rare Freshwater Ciliate Paramecium chlorelligerum Kahl, 1935 and Its Macronuclear Symbiotic Bacterium "Candidatus Holospora parva". [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2016 Ciliated protists often form symbioses with many diverse microorganisms. In particular, symbiotic associations between ciliates and green algae, as well as between ciliates and intracellular bacteria, are rather wide-spread in nature.

Wall Drag on Free-Moving Ciliated Micro-Organisms [PDF]
, 1973 It is generally assumed that wall drag on free-moving, self-propelled or passively moving micro-organisms is not significant under normal observation conditions. Yet the point at which such drag becomes significant has not been determined quantitatively.

European Journal of Inorganic Chemistry, Volume 29, Issue 3, January 21, 2026.Lanthanide affinity and selectivity in proteins remain poorly understood. Engineering calmodulin with a lanthanide‐binding tag at Site 1 boosts affinity from nanomolar (isolated LBTs) to picomolar dissociation constants, comparable to lanmodulin but with distinct selectivity.

BMC Evolutionary Biology, 2009 Background The sub-membranous skeleton of the ciliate Paramecium, the epiplasm, is composed of hundreds of epiplasmic scales centered on basal bodies, and presents a complex set of proteins, epiplasmins, which belong to a multigenic family.

Interaction of the mechanosensitive microswimmer Paramecium with obstacles
Royal Society Open Science, 2023 In this work, we report investigations of the swimming behaviour of Paramecium tetraurelia, a unicellular microorganism, in micro-engineered pools that are decorated with thousands of cylindrical pillars.

Turing Test, Chinese Room Argument, Symbol Grounding Problem. Meanings in Artificial Agents [PDF]
, 2012 The Turing Test (TT), the Chinese Room Argument (CRA), and the Symbol Grounding Problem (SGP) are about the question “can machines think?”. We propose to look at that question through the capability for Artificial Agents (AAs) to generate meaningful ...

Self‐Healing Materials from Electronically Integrated Microscopic Robots
Advanced Intelligent Systems, Volume 8, Issue 1, January 2026.Submillimeter robots can use electronically controlled electrodeposition to assemble into a material structure. The resulting aggregate possesses ultralow density, high strength‐to‐weight ratio, and can heal from damage. Further afield, these results clear a path to materials that organize or adapt by directing matter and information at the microscale.

Arrest of cytoplasmic streaming induces algal proliferation in green paramecia. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2007 A green ciliate Paramecium bursaria, bearing several hundreds of endosymbiotic algae, demonstrates rotational microtubule-based cytoplasmic streaming, in which cytoplasmic granules and endosymbiotic algae flow in a constant direction.
