How protists contribute to plant growth and health: Exploring new interactions with the plant microbiome

The Microbe
The plant microbiome is a key determinant of plant fitness. Traditionally, research has focused on interactions involving a few microbial groups, such as bacteria and fungi, while other players, including protists, have been largely overlooked. Recently,

Carrion ecology: concepts, interdisciplinary synthesis, and perspectives

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Carrion is a ubiquitous resource in both terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems, yet it has long been overlooked in ecological research. Over the past two decades, studies on carrion and the many organisms that exploit it have flourished, revealing not only wide‐ranging ecological functions but also significance far beyond ecology.

Predatory protists reduce bacteria wilt disease incidence in tomato plants

Nature Communications
Soil organisms are affected by the presence of predatory protists. However, it remains poorly understood how predatory protists can affect plant disease incidence and how fertilization regimes can affect these interactions.

When Nature Counts: Corporate Biodiversity Attention and Access to Bank Finance

Business Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This paper investigates whether corporate attention to biodiversity influences firms' access to bank loans, an overlooked question in the emerging biodiversity–finance literature. Using a novel, text‐based measure constructed from 446 biodiversity‐related keywords and applied to Chinese A‐share listed firms from 2000 to 2023, we show that ...

Nature Protection as a Strategy? Strategic Objectives and Dynamic Capabilities in Corporate Biodiversity Management

Business Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study examines why and how firms address biodiversity loss. Using a multiple case study of 10 large food and agriculture firms, we analyze 35 interviews and secondary data to show that firms pursue strategic objectives through biodiversity management beyond compliance or philanthropy.

Keystone predatory protists are associated closely with ammonia‐oxidizing microorganisms in an acidic Ultisol

Journal of Sustainable Agriculture and Environment
Predatory protists are widely recognized as critical biotic forces driving soil microbial communities, but their top‐down controls on ammonia‐oxidizing microorganisms (AOMs), the major players in nitrification, are largely unresolved.

Organic fertilization regimes suppress fungal plant pathogens through modulating the resident bacterial and protistan communities

Journal of Sustainable Agriculture and Environment, 2022
Introduction Fungal plant pathogens are an emerging threat to economically important crop production worldwide and a significant risk to global food security. However, we have limited knowledge of how agricultural management practices drive the emergence

Houses made by protists [PDF]

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.

New Insights Into the Three‐Dimensional Mechanics of the Flagellar Beat Cycle

Cytoskeleton, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Advances in imaging at the molecular scale have provided greater detail concerning the three‐dimensional structure of the ciliary/flagellar axoneme. Additionally, it has recently been confirmed that electrostatic forces regulate the dynein‐tubulin interaction at the microtubule binding domain (MTBD) of dynein, and at the junction of the nexin ...
