This study sequenced genomes of hundreds of Paramecium isolates worldwide to investigate population-genetic patterns, finding geographic differentiation and speciation driven by genetic isolation.

This study analyzes mitochondrial genomes of Paramecium to explore evolutionary dynamics, revealing cryptic diversity, conserved genes, and patterns of molecular evolution.

The paper investigates the evolutionary origin of Internal Eliminated Sequences (IESs) in Paramecium genomes, showing transposable elements drive their proliferation and diversification.

The paper investigates heritable variation in resistance to the parasite Holospora undulata across Paramecium caudatum strains, finding substantial genetic variation and geographic patterns of resistance.
