1. Novel insights into protist diversity and niche adaptation using single cell transcriptomics
Abstract : Protists are a polyphyletic group of microbes that represents the vast majority of eukaryotic diversity. Despite this, most sequencing efforts targeting eukaryotes have been focused on animals, fungi and plants. READ MORE

2. Environmental sequencing to infer patterns of eukaryotic evolution : Combining long-read and short-read metabarcoding
Abstract : Our view of eukaryotes is biased towards plants, animals, and fungi. But the vast majority of eukaryotic diversity is microbial in nature. These microbial eukaryotes are key players in all ecosystems on earth and are collectively known as protists. READ MORE

3. Pelagic microorganisms in the northern Baltic Sea : Ecology, diversity and food web dynamics
Abstract : Heterotrophic microorganisms are important for the flow of carbon and nutrients in the sea. Bacteria, nanoflagellates and ciliates are relevant components of the pelagic food web. In order to be able to predict the outcome of e.g. READ MORE

4. Microbial evolution: patterns of diversity in aquatic protists
Abstract : Little is known about how microbes diversify in nature. In contrast to the more studied multicellular organisms, microbes can have a) huge population sizes, b) high reproductive rates and c) long-distance dispersal. These characteristics can affect their tempo and mode of diversification in ways that still need to be understood. READ MORE

5. Ancient roles of non-coding RNAs in eukaryotic evolution : contributions from social amoebae and other protists
Abstract : RNAs not coding for proteins, non-coding RNAs (ncRNAs) have many important roles in all kingdoms of life. Especially in eukaryotes, the regulatory functions of ncRNAs have been suggested as a major force in the evolution of complex traits. READ MORE
