Food Spectrum and Habitat-Specific Diets of Benthic Foraminifera From the Wadden Sea – A Fatty Acid Biomarker Approach

open access: yesFrontiers in Marine Science, 2020
Tidal coasts are characterized by natural disturbances, forming a broad variety of habitats, which provide different niches and varying food resources for benthic foraminifera.

Microplastics in the menu of Mediterranean zooplankton: Insights from the feeding response of the calanoid copepod Centropages typicus

open access: yesMarine 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 ...

Soil Protists: From Traits To Ecological Functions [PDF]

open access: yes, 2020
The best-known function of soil protists is as bacteria feeders, protists consume bacteria prey and further release the nutrients which were locked in bacteria biomass, those nutrients benefit the remaining bacteria and plant root.

Untangling the “Renicola somateria” (Digenea, Renicolidae) Muddle: Actual Number of Species and Their Distribution and Transmission in the Holarctic

open access: yesDiversity
Renicolids are parasites of aquatic birds. Their species identification based on morphological characters is problematic. Here, we revised the composition of Renicola spp.

Flying Protists: Analyzing Bird-associated Protists with High-throughput Sequencing

open access: yes, 2022
Protists, or single-celled eukaryotic microbes, are known to exist in a variety of environments, where they play important roles in their ecosystems.

Renicola spp. (Digenea, Renicolidae) of the ‘Duck Clade’ with Description of the Renicola mollissima Kulachkova, 1957 Life Cycle

open access: yesDiversity
Renicolid digeneans parasitise aquatic birds. In molecular trees, they are divided into three clades, one of which, the ‘duck clade’, parasitises anatids. Renicola mollissima, a member of this clade, parasitises sea ducks, mainly eiders.

Metatranscriptomic census of active protists in soils

open access: yes, 2015
The high numbers and diversity of protists in soil systems have long been presumed, but their true diversity and community composition have remained largely concealed.

Eukaryotic genomes from a global metagenomic data set illuminate trophic modes and biogeography of ocean plankton

open access: yesmBio, 2023
Metagenomics is a powerful method for interpreting the ecological roles and physiological capabilities of mixed microbial communities. Yet, many tools for processing metagenomic data are neither designed to consider eukaryotes nor are they built for an ...

Intestinal Protists in Captive Non-human Primates and Their Handlers in Six European Zoological Gardens. Molecular Evidence of Zoonotic Transmission

open access: yesFrontiers in Veterinary Science, 2022
We assessed the occurrence, genetic diversity, and zoonotic potential of four protozoan (Cryptosporidium spp., Entamoeba histolytica, Entamoeba dispar, Giardia duodenalis), one stramenopile (Blastocystis sp.), one microsporidia (Enterocytozoon bieneusi),

Enhanced Endophytic Colonization of Flavobacterium Promotes Plant Resistance to Fusarium Wilt

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
A natural microbial consortium employing a cross‐feeding strategy forms a stratified biofilm that promotes endophytic colonization of auxotrophic Flavobacterium. This enhanced colonization activates plant systemic resistance, effectively suppressing Fusarium wilt.
