This study describes a new Labyrinthula species, Labyrinthula merlionensis, associated with marine diatoms, detailing its morphology and interaction phases with the host.

On-site metabarcoding analysis of environmental DNA samples

This paper presents a portable eDNA metabarcoding pipeline for rapid ecological assessment, demonstrating its feasibility in remote settings with on-site analysis.

Export dynamics of protists across the southern subtropical frontal zone reveal taxon-specific patterns

The paper examines protist export dynamics in subtropical and subantarctic waters, finding taxon-specific patterns in their loss during particle sinking and remineralisation.

Temporal dynamics and biogeography of sympagic and planktonic autotrophic microbial eukaryotes during the under-ice Arctic bloom

This study examines the taxonomic composition and biogeography of sympagic and planktonic autotrophic microbial eukaryotes during the Arctic under-ice bloom using metabarcoding.

Tracing the evolution of the plastome and mitogenome in the Chloropicophyceae uncovered convergent tRNA gene losses and a variant plastid genetic code

The paper analyzes plastome and mitogenome evolution in Chloropicophyceae, identifying convergent tRNA gene losses and a unique plastid genetic code reassignment.
