The first finding of Paulinella chromatophora (Rhizaria, Euglyphida) in Ukraine
The First Finding of Paulinella chromatophora (Rhizaria, Euglyphida) in Ukraine. Kapustin D. A. - A 3testate amoeba, Paulinella chromatophora Lauterborn, 1895, is recorded for the first time in the fauna of Ukraine. It is illustrated under the light and scanning electron microscope and redescribed.

Xenophyophores dominate the abyssal megafauna across many areas of the Pacific Ocean. These giant agglutinated foraminifera have been studied mainly in the tropics, including within the Clarion-Clipperton Zone (CCZ), from where the majority of recently ...

Illuminating protist diversity in pitcher plants and bromeliad tanks.
Many species of plants have evolved structures called phytotelmata that store water and trap detritus and prey. These structures house diverse communities of organisms, the inquiline microbiome, that aids breakdown of litter and prey.

Diversity and dynamics of protist communities in subtidal North Sea sediments in relation to metal pollution and algal bloom deposition [PDF]
The Belgian Coastal Zone (BCZ) is heavily polluted by trace metals, that pose a potential threat to the marine ecosystem in the area, including to humans (a.o. via fisheries).

ABSTRACT Biological invasions are one of the major drivers of biodiversity decline and have been shown to have far‐reaching consequences for society and the economy. Preventing the introduction and spread of alien species represents the most effective solution to reducing their impacts on nature and human well‐being.

Encystation:the most prevalent and underinvestigated differentiation pathway of eukaryotes [PDF]
Not long ago, protists were considered one of four eukaryote kingdoms, but recent gene-based phylogenies show that they contribute to all nine eukaryote subdomains.

Collect of Collodarian (Rhizaria, Radiolaria) nuclei for genomic analyses v1 [PDF]
Collodaria are ubiquitous and abundant marine radiolarian (Rhizaria) protists (Biard et al. 2015). They occur as large colonies (a few millimeters up to 3 meters long) or as solitary specimens. Collodarians are known to play an important role in oceanic food webs both as active predators and as hosts of intracellular endosymbiotic microalgae primarily ...

ABSTRACT Benthic foraminifera are characterized by their rapid response and high resistance to variable and extreme conditions such as those typically found in intertidal environments. However, knowledge of cellular and metabolic adaptations by foraminifera remains incomplete.

Integrating Horizontal Gene Transfer and Common Descent to Depict Evolution and Contrast It with ‘‘Common Design [PDF]
Horizontal gene transfer (HGT) and common descent interact in space and time. Because events of HGT co-occur with phylogenetic evolution, it is difficult to depict evolutionary patterns graphically. Tree-like representations of life’s diversification are
