The paper shows that slow and fast functional strategies manifest at the ecosystem level, driven by disturbance and resource availability in grassland communities.

This study shows biotic interactions explain more variation in alpine soil microbiomes than abiotic factors, with stronger effects in summer than spring.

This study shows that obligate biotrophic oomycetes dominate tree canopies, indicating canopies as a reservoir for parasitic protists and challenging previous assumptions about host dependencies.

This study identifies seasonal patterns in protistan communities in tree canopies using high-throughput sequencing, revealing distinct taxa in spring and autumn and highlighting the canopy as a reservoir for wind-dispersed propagules.

The paper surveys soil oomycete diversity across temperate grasslands and forests, revealing distinct ecological responses of biotrophic and hemibiotrophic pathogens to environmental factors.

The paper examines protistan lineages in soil, finding differences in their responses to land management and environmental factors between grassland and forest ecosystems.
