Researchers from the Earlham Institute, in collaboration with the Department of Biology at the University of Oxford, have discovered three previously unrecognized lineages of the protist Bodo, each ...

Scientists have identified a pond-dwelling protist that breaks long-held genetic rules by reassigning two standard stop ...

That’s what pops to mind when I look at Sebastian Hess’ photos of a kind of plump, violent, single-celled creature he collected from a pond rich in sphagnum moss in southern Germany. The ...

Climate change is raising surface temperatures of natural waters, increasing concern about pathogenic species in aquatic environments that can infect humans ...

The cross-trophic networks between protists and (A) fungi and (B) bacteria. Structural equation models showing the contrasting patterns of protists on the accumulation of (C) fungal and (D) bacterial ...

Tiny unicellular creatures called protists could keep greenhouse gases out of the atmosphere by gobbling up bacteria that emit CO2, researchers say. Now, a study finds that a few simple measures of a ...
