This study describes a new Labyrinthula species, Labyrinthula merlionensis, associated with marine diatoms, detailing its morphology and interaction phases with the host.

This paper presents a portable eDNA metabarcoding pipeline for rapid ecological assessment, demonstrating its feasibility in remote settings with on-site analysis.

The paper examines protist export dynamics in subtropical and subantarctic waters, finding taxon-specific patterns in their loss during particle sinking and remineralisation.

This study examines the taxonomic composition and biogeography of sympagic and planktonic autotrophic microbial eukaryotes during the Arctic under-ice bloom using metabarcoding.

The paper measures carbon fixation rates and taxonomic composition of small phytoplankton in different oceanic regions, suggesting phago-mixotrophy may help alleviate iron limitation in certain populations.

The paper analyzes plastome and mitogenome evolution in Chloropicophyceae, identifying convergent tRNA gene losses and a unique plastid genetic code reassignment.
