Transitions within agroecosystems impact protists diversity and soil multifunctionality [PDF]
Communications Earth & EnvironmentSoil protists are key contributors to ecosystem functions. The impacts of transitions within agricultural systems on the soil biota and functionality receive less attention than that among distinct ecosystems including forest, grassland, and cropland ...

Autophagy, 2011 Autophagy is the degradative process by which eukaryotic cells digest their own components using acid hydrolases within the lysosome. Originally thought to function almost exclusively in providing starving cells with nutrients taken from their own cellular constituents, autophagy is in fact involved in numerous cellular events including differentiation,

Microplastics and phagotrophic soil protists: evidence of ingestion
Soil Organisms, 2021 Microplastics (MPs) can now be found in all the Earth’s biomes, thereby representing a global change phenomenon with largely unknown consequences for biodiversity and ecosystem functioning.

Trade-Offs between Competitive Ability and Resistance to Top-Down Control in Marine Microbes
mSystems, 2023 Trade-offs between competitive ability and resistance to top-down control manifest the “kill-the-winner” hypothesis that explains how mortality caused by protists and viruses can promote bacterial diversity.

Current Biology, 2020 The vast majority of eukaryotic life is made up of single cells commonly referred to as protists. In this primer, Leander provides an introduction to predatory protists - cells that eat other cells. This lifestyle, in particular the use of phagocytosis, makes endosymbiosis possible and enabled the evolution of complex cells.

Soil Organisms, 2020 Soils host most biodiversity on Earth, with a major fraction of its taxonomic diversity still to be uncovered and most of its functional knowledge to be determined. Much focus has been - and still is - on bacteria, fungi and animals. Clearly, without any

Micro-eukaryotic diversity in hypolithons from Miers Valley, Antarctica [PDF]
, 2013 The discovery of extensive and complex hypolithic communities in both cold and hot deserts has raised many questions regarding their ecology, biodiversity and relevance in terms of regional productivity.
