Diversity and ecology of protists revealed by metabarcoding

Fabien Burki et al.

Summary: Protists are the predominant eukaryotes in the biosphere, playing key functional roles, and metabarcoding has provided unprecedented opportunities to study their taxonomic and functional diversity. With the maturation of high-throughput long-read sequencing, a robust eco-evolutionary framework of protist diversity is within reach.

Horizontal and vertical small-scale patterns of protist communities at the Atlantic deep-sea floor

Manon Hohlfeld et al.

Summary: The study revealed significant differences in spatial distribution of deep-sea protists, with only a small percentage of species shared between different deep-sea regions. Even at small spatial scales, there were large variations in protist communities, indicating an underestimated complexity of deep-sea microbial food webs.

High and specific diversity of protists in the deep-sea basins dominated by diplonemids, kinetoplastids, ciliates and foraminiferans

Alexandra Schoenle et al.

Summary: The research shows that deep-sea heterotrophic protists play a crucial role in the ecosystem, with species richness surpassing that of other trophic levels and displaying differences from pelagic protists. Additionally, deep-sea protist communities are highly specific and represent one of the most diverse biodiversity compartments in the Earth system.
