Foraminifera are a species-rich phylum of rhizarian protists that are highly abundant in most
marine environments. Molecular methods such as metabarcoding have revealed a high, yet …

Amongst other threats, the world’s oceans are faced with man-made pollution, including an
increasing number of microparticulate pollutants. Sponges, aquatic filter-feeding animals, are …

Foraminifera are a species-rich phylum of rhizarian protists that are highly abundant in many
marine environments and play a major role in global carbon cycling. Species recognition in …

Ecological regime shifts in the marine realm have been recorded from a variety of systems
and locations around the world. Coral reefs have been especially affected, with their benthic …

Traditional morphological methods for species identification are highly time consuming,
especially for small organisms, such as Foraminifera, a group of shell-building microbial …

Mitochondria originated from an ancient bacterial endosymbiont that underwent reductive
evolution by gene loss and endosymbiont gene transfer to the nuclear genome. The diversity …

Monitoring community composition of Foraminifera (single‐celled marine protists) provides
valuable insights into environmental conditions in marine ecosystems. Despite the efficiency …

Knowledge of biofilm formation on pollutants in the marine realm is expanding, but how
communities respond to substrates during colonization remains poorly understood. Here, we …

Biofilm-forming microbial communities on plastics and textile fibers are of growing interest
since they have potential to contribute to disease outbreaks and material biodegradability in …

Traditional morphological methods for species identification are highly time consuming,
especially for small organisms, such as Foraminifera, a group of shell-building microbial …
