O Short-branch Microsporidia, Where Art Thou? Identifying diversity hotspots for future sampling

The paper identifies freshwater and terrestrial environments as diversity hotspots for short-branch Microsporidia to guide future sampling efforts.

Global observation of plankton communities from space

The paper uses satellite data and machine learning to predict global plankton community distributions with 67% accuracy, outperforming temperature and chlorophyll a alone.

Unveiling hidden eukaryotes: diversity of Endomyxa (Rhizaria) in coastal marine habitats

The paper investigates Endomyxa diversity in coastal marine habitats using targeted primers, revealing novel lineages and habitat-specific variations.

Insight into diatoms diversity at two European coastal sites (LTER-MC in the Mediterranean Sea and SOMLIT-Astan in the Western English Channel) using a DNA metabarcoding approach

The paper uses DNA metabarcoding to analyze diatom diversity at two coastal sites, finding shared ASVs and suggesting internal growth factors influence diversity patterns.

Genomic evidence for global ocean plankton biogeography shaped by large-scale current systems

The paper analyzes plankton genomic distribution across oceans to show how large-scale currents shape biogeography, revealing size-dependent patterns and basin-scale transport effects.

EukProt: A database of genome-scale predicted proteins across the diversity of eukaryotes

EukProt provides a database of predicted proteins from 993 eukaryotic species to support phylogenomic and gene family evolution studies.

EukRef: phylogenetic curation of ribosomal RNA to enhance understanding of eukaryotic diversity and distribution

EukRef improves eukaryotic diversity studies by curating ribosomal RNA references to enhance accuracy and keep pace with taxonomic changes and novel diversity.

Soil Protists in Three Neotropical Rainforests are Hyperdiverse and Dominated by Parasites

The paper investigates protist diversity in Neotropical rainforest soils, finding them hyperdiverse and dominated by parasitic Apicomplexa, which may influence animal diversity.
