The Rab7 subfamily across Paramecium aurelia species; evidence of high conservation in sequence and function. [PDF]
Small GTPases, 2020 We examined sequence conservation and signatures of selection in Rab7 proteins across 11 Paramecium aurelia species, and determined the localization patterns of two P. tetraurelia Rab7 paralogs when expressed as GFP fusions in live cells.

Temperature and predators as interactive drivers of community properties. [PDF]
Ecol Evol, 2023 The effects of warming on ecological communities emerge from a range of potentially asymmetric impacts on individual physiology and development. We used microcosms with a range of protists, rotifers, and a gastrotrich, with and without the predator Actinosphaerium, to assess changes in diversity, body size, function, and composition in response to ...

The Microbiome Within a Microbe: Rethinking Blastocystis Biology. [PDF]
J Eukaryot MicrobiolABSTRACT Blastocystis spp., one of the most prevalent microeukaryotes in the human gut, has long puzzled researchers with its ambiguous role in health and disease. Decades‐old microscopy studies reported bacterial‐ and viral‐like particles within Blastocystis spp. cells, but these findings have been mainly overlooked.

Genetic Features of the Scuticociliate Pathogen Philaster sp. Isolate FWC2 That Causes Sea Urchin Mass Mortality. [PDF]
J Eukaryot MicrobiolABSTRACT A scuticociliate most closely related to Philaster apodigitiformis caused mass mortalities of diadematoid sea urchins and was cultured as Philaster sp. isolate FWC2. We sequenced the metagenomic content of this isolate, which was predicted to represent ≤ 56% of the complete genome.

Eco-phenotypic feedback loops differ in multistressor environments. [PDF]
EcologyAbstract 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 ...

Model Selection for Ordinary Differential Equations: A Statistical Testing Approach. [PDF]
Biom JABSTRACT Ordinary differential equations (ODEs) are foundational tools in modeling intricate dynamics across a gamut of scientific disciplines. Yet, a possibility to represent a single phenomenon through multiple ODE models, driven by different understandings of nuances in internal mechanisms or abstraction levels, presents a model selection challenge.

Database Release: PPSDB, a Linked Open Data Knowledge Base for Protist-Prokaryote Symbioses. [PDF]
J Eukaryot MicrobiolABSTRACT As the ecological and evolutionary importance of symbiotic interactions between protists (microbial eukaryotes) and prokaryotes (bacteria and archaea) is better appreciated, keeping an overview of their diversity and the literature becomes a growing and ongoing challenge.

A Reassessment of Phylogenetic Relationships in Class Oligohymenophorea (Protista, Ciliophora) Based on Updated Multigene Data. [PDF]
Ecol EvolWe 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.
