Inferring northern peatland methane emissions from testate amoebae: A proof of concept study [PDF]
Mires and Peat, 2023 Peatlands are efficient carbon sinks due to waterlogged soils causing oxygen depletion and slowing organic matter decomposition, leading to peat accumulation.

FEMS Microbiology Ecology, 2022 Predatory protists are major consumers of soil micro-organisms. By selectively feeding on their prey, they can shape soil microbiome composition and functions. While different protists are known to show diverging impacts, it remains impossible to predict

Protist predation can favour cooperation within bacterial species [PDF]
, 2013 Here, we studied how protist predation affects cooperation in the opportunistic pathogen bacterium Pseudomonas aeruginosa, which uses quorum sensing (QS) cell-to-cell signalling to regulate the production of public goods.

An inordinate fondness?: the number, distributions, and origins of diatom species [PDF]
, 2013 The number of extant species of diatoms is estimated here to be at least 30,000 and probably ca. 100,000, by extrapolation from an eclectic sample of genera and species complexes.

Evolutionary Dynamics of Giant Viruses and their Virophages [PDF]
, 2013 Giant viruses contain large genomes, encode many proteins atypical for viruses, replicate in large viral factories, and tend to infect protists. The giant virus replication factories can in turn be infected by so called virophages, which are smaller ...

Mucospheres produced by a mixotrophic protist impact ocean carbon cycling
Nature Communications, 2022 Mixotrophic protists (unicellular eukaryotes) that engage in both phototrophy (photosynthesis) and phago-heterotrophy (engulfment of particles)—are predicted to contribute substantially to energy fluxes and marine biogeochemical cycles.
