Less diverse but uniquely composed: Canopy cover and elevation shape Neotropical Arcellinida assemblages in the Peruvian Andes

The paper examines Arcellinida diversity in the Peruvian Andes, finding lower abundance and diversity compared to extratropical biomes, with unique taxonomic composition shaped by elevation and canopy cover.

Threshold responses of aquatic microbial diversity to terrestrial land use across Mediterranean catchments

The paper examines how terrestrial land use and water chemistry affect aquatic microbial diversity in Mediterranean catchments, identifying thresholds where diversity declines or peaks based on environmental conditions.

Quaternary ice ages shaped protists phylogeography: the case of Arcellinida in the Iberian Peninsula

The study examines how Quaternary ice ages influenced the phylogeography of Arcellinida protists in the Iberian Peninsula, finding genetic diversity hotspots aligned with glacial refugia and supporting the GLQ paradigm for microbial eukaryotes.
