Role of small Rhizaria and diatoms in the pelagic silica production of the Southern Ocean [PDF]
We examined biogenic silica production and elementary composition (biogenic Si, particulate organic carbon and particulate organic nitrogen) of Rhizaria and diatoms in the upper 200 m along a transect in the Southwest Pacific sector of the Southern Ocean during austral summer (January–February 2019).

Abundant Chitinous Structures in Chilostomella (Foraminifera, Rhizaria) and Their Potential Functions [PDF]
AbstractBenthic foraminifera, members of Rhizaria, inhabit a broad range of marine environments and are particularly common in hypoxic sediments. The biology of benthic foraminifera is key to understanding benthic ecosystems and relevant biogeochemical cycles, especially in hypoxic environments.

Revised Taxonomy and Expanded Biodiversity of the Phytomyxea (Rhizaria, Endomyxa)
AbstractPhytomyxea (phytomyxids) is a group of obligate biotrophic pathogens belonging to the Rhizaria. Some phytomyxids are well studied and include known plant pathogens such as Plasmodiophora brassicae, the causal agent of clubroot disease. Despite this economic importance, the taxonomy and biodiversity of this group are largely cryptic, with many ...

Morphological Description of Telaepolella tubasferens n. g., n. sp., Isolate ATCC© 50593™, a Filose Amoeba in the Gracilipodida, Amoebozoa [PDF]
We describe the amoeboid isolate ATCC© 50593™ as a new taxon, Telaepolella tubasferens n. gen. n. sp. This multinucleated amoeba has filose pseudopods and is superficially similar to members of the vampyrellids (Rhizaria) such as Arachnula impatiens ...

Kleptoplasty or acquisition of chloroplasts from ingested photosynthetic organisms, is thought to be a key factor in determining the trophic requirements and carbon mineralization of foraminifera, consequently influencing their ecology, evolution, and ...

Aggregative Multicellularity Evolved Independently in the Eukaryotic Supergroup Rhizaria [PDF]
Multicellular forms of life have evolved many times, independently giving rise to a diversity of organisms such as animals, plants, and fungi that together comprise the visible biosphere. Yet multicellular life is far more widespread among eukaryotes than just these three lineages.

Cyanobacterial contribution to the genomes of the plastid-lacking protists [PDF]
Background Eukaryotic genes with cyanobacterial ancestry in plastid-lacking protists have been regarded as important evolutionary markers implicating the presence of plastids in the early evolution of eukaryotes.

An evolutionary perspective on the kinome of malaria parasites [PDF]
Malaria parasites belong to an ancient lineage that diverged very early from the main branch of eukaryotes. The approximately 90-member plasmodial kinome includes a majority of eukaryotic protein kinases that clearly cluster within the AGC, CMGC, TKL ...
