Effects of a 12-Year Nitrogen Addition Experiment on Protist Communities in a Boreal Forest, Heilongjiang Province, China [PDF]
AnimalsEscalating nitrogen (N) deposition has profound effects on terrestrial ecosystems; however, the mechanisms underlying soil protist community responses in cold-temperate regions remain poorly understood.

Contrasting patterns in diversity and community assembly of bacterioplankton and three size fractions of protists in the South China Sea [PDF]
Applied and Environmental MicrobiologyThe microbial food web plays a critical role in marine ecosystems, composed of various cell sizes of microbial organisms. Here, high-throughput sequencing of the 16S and 18S rRNA genes was conducted to detect the community structure and distribution ...

Effects of chloride and nutrients on freshwater plankton communities
Limnology and Oceanography Letters, 2023 Increasing chloride concentrations threaten freshwater zooplankton. We questioned the protectiveness of the Canadian Water Quality Guideline for chloride because it is based on individual species studied under laboratory conditions and does not account ...

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 ...

Diversity, 2023 During a field survey of Korean marine and brackish water ciliate diversity, we collected a tiny benthic ciliate (13–18 µm long in vivo) from the opening of a brackish water lagoon (10‰).

Trends in Plant Science, 2019 The rhizosphere microbiome is a central determinant of plant performance. Microbiome assembly has traditionally been investigated from a bottom-up perspective, assessing how resources such as root exudates drive microbiome assembly. However, the importance of predation as a driver of microbiome structure has to date largely remained overlooked. Here we

PLoS ONE, 2020 The hindgut protists of wood-feeding termites are usually colonized by prokaryotic symbionts. Many of the hurdles that have prevented a better understanding of these symbionts arise from variation among protist and termite host species and the inability ...
