The Biodiversity and Geochemistry of Cryoconite Holes in Queen Maud Land, East Antarctica [PDF]
, 2019 Cryoconite holes are oases of microbial diversity on ice surfaces. In contrast to the Arctic, where during the summer most cryoconite holes are ‘open’, in Continental Antarctica they are most often ‘lidded’ or completely frozen year-round.

Biological characterization of a mid‐water salinity maximum intrusion over the Northeast US Shelf
Limnology and Oceanography, Volume 71, Issue 5, May 2026.Abstract Salinity maximum intrusions, subsurface layers of anomalously salty and warm continental slope water moving onto the continental shelf along the thermocline, are recurring features over the Northeast US Shelf and represent an important cross‐shelf exchange mechanism.

Beyond BLASTing : ribonucleoprotein evolution via structural prediction and ancestral sequence reconstruction [PDF]
, 2016 Primary homology in DNA and protein sequence has long been used to infer a relationship between similar sequences. However gene sequence, and thus protein sequence, can change over time.

Temporal dynamics of mesopelagic fishes within a mesoscale eddy: A Lagrangian perspective
Limnology and Oceanography Letters, Volume 11, Issue 3, May 2026.Abstract Mesoscale eddies are physically dynamic environments, yet biological responses within them are often treated as static, with eddy polarity (anticyclones vs. cyclones) serving as the dominant conceptual framework. Temporal dynamics of animals within eddies—particularly at mid‐trophic levels—remain largely unresolved.

High Diversity Revealed in Leaf‐Associated Protists (Rhizaria: Cercozoa) of Brassicaceae [PDF]
Journal of Eukaryotic Microbiology, 2016 AbstractThe largest biological surface on earth is formed by plant leaves. These leaf surfaces are colonized by a specialized suite of leaf‐inhabiting microorganisms, recently termed “phyllosphere microbiome”. Microbial prey, however, attract microbial predators.

Paulinella chromatophora – rethinking the transition from endosymbiont to organelle
Acta Societatis Botanicorum Poloniae, 2014 Eukaryotes co-opted photosynthetic carbon fixation from prokaryotes by engulfing a cyanobacterium and stably integrating it as a photosynthetic organelle (plastid) in a process known as primary endosymbiosis.

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 3, March 2026.Environmental DNA (eDNA) metabarcoding is widely used for biodiversity monitoring, but short‐read sequencing limits detailed taxonomic identification, especially for protists. In a comparison of short‐ and long‐read approaches in the Belgian North Sea, long‐read metabarcoding provided deeper taxonomic assignment under the applied workflows and improved

The evolutionary history of histone H3 suggests a deep eukaryotic root of chromatin modifying mechanisms [PDF]
, 2010 Background The phenotype of an organism is an outcome of both its genotype, encoding the primary sequence of proteins, and the developmental orchestration of gene expression.

Metabarcoding and biomass quantification reveal seasonal parasite associations in copepods
Limnology and Oceanography, Volume 71, Issue 2, February 2026.Abstract Parasites are important members of ecosystems, and recent metabarcoding efforts have revealed an abundance of microbial eukaryotic parasites in copepods. However, a putative linkage to host community biomass and composition has not been addressed. We performed zooplankton tows monthly for 2 yr at five stations in the Oslofjord, Norway.

Single Cell Transcriptomics, Mega-Phylogeny, and the Genetic Basis of Morphological Innovations in Rhizaria [PDF]
Molecular Biology and Evolution, 2016 Abstract The innovation of the eukaryote cytoskeleton enabled phagocytosis, intracellular transport and cytokinesis, and is responsible for diverse eukaryotic morphologies. Still, the relationship between phenotypic innovations in the cytoskeleton and their underlying genotype is poorly understood.
