Effects of Glyphosate on the Planktonic Microbiota: An Experimental Approach
Environmental Toxicology, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Glyphosate is one of the most widely used herbicides in the world, including in Brazil, and its dispersion through habitats and surface waters can impact entire aquatic ecosystems. However, experimental studies evaluating the effects of pesticides on whole planktonic communities, considering attributes such as richness, density and composition—

Transitions within agroecosystems impact protists diversity and soil multifunctionality
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 ...

Bacterial resistance to arsenic protects against protist killing [PDF]
, 2017 Protists kill their bacterial prey using toxic metals such as copper. Here we hypothesize that the metalloid arsenic has a similar role. To test this hypothesis, we examined intracellular survival of Escherichia coli (E. coli) in the amoeba Dictyostelium

Biodiversity research requires more motors in air, water and on land
Methods in Ecology and Evolution, EarlyView.Abstract Human activities have accelerated species extinctions, driving rapid biodiversity decline. Simultaneously, advancements in Artificial Intelligence (AI) and autonomous systems offer transformative potential for biodiversity research. Uncrewed vehicles—drones (aerial systems) and other robots (ground and underwater platforms)—equipped with high ...

Whole-proteome tree of life suggests a deep burst of organism diversity. [PDF]
, 2020 An organism tree of life (organism ToL) is a conceptual and metaphorical tree to capture a simplified narrative of the evolutionary course and kinship among the extant organisms.

Current Biology, 2011 What kind of structures are we talking about? Portable protective cases, known as tests, made by single-celled organisms out of collected building materials.What are the organisms that can do this? There are two distinct types of single-celled eukaryotes with this ability.

Long‐read sequencing for biodiversity analyses—A comprehensive guide
Methods in Ecology and Evolution, EarlyView.Abstract DNA‐based monitoring of biodiversity has revolutionised our ability to describe communities and rapidly assess anthropogenic impacts on biodiversity. Currently established molecular methods for biomonitoring rely heavily on classic metabarcoding utilising short reads, mostly through Illumina data.

Modes and mechanisms for the inheritance of mitochondria and plastids in pathogenic protists.
PLoS PathogensPathogenic protists are responsible for many diseases that significantly impact human and animal health across the globe. Almost all protists possess mitochondria or mitochondrion-related organelles, and many contain plastids.
