This study uses phylogenomics and transcriptomics to reveal physiological diversity and adaptation in Rhizaria, showing distinct metabolic capabilities among closely related species.

The paper presents the first telomere-anchored genome of a rhizarian, revealing an osmotrophic extracellular digestion strategy similar to saprotrophic fungi.

The paper quantifies how trophic guilds influence soil organic carbon mineralization under warming by integrating sequencing and biomass conversion factors in a field experiment.

The paper studies sea-ice microbial dynamics during a spring bloom, finding parasitoids may influence microalgal diversity and community composition.

This study investigates how earthworm invasion affects biodiversity and ecosystem functioning by analyzing multiple variables and functions across four forests.

The paper creates a functional trait database for Amoebozoa and compares it with Cercozoa to reveal ecological roles and functional differences in terrestrial environments.

This paper synthesizes research on biodiversity in mountain soils above the treeline, highlighting gaps in geographic and taxonomic coverage and the need for improved data to support conservation efforts.

The paper uses Lotka-Volterra dynamics to model the biocontrol of wastewater sludge bulking by protists against filamentous bacteria.

The paper investigates environmental factors shaping cercozoan protist communities in a temperate grassland, finding moisture and clay content as key drivers with spatial and seasonal patterns.
