Photosynthetic eukaryotes unite: endosymbiosis connects the dots
The photosynthetic organelle of algae and plants (the plastid) traces its origin to a primary
endosymbiotic event in which a previously non‐photosynthetic protist engulfed and enslaved …

The algal revolution
Algae are (mostly) photosynthetic eukaryotes that occupy multiple branches of the tree of life,
and are vital for planet function and health. In this review, we highlight a transformative …

Hidden biodiversity of the extremophilic Cyanidiales red algae
The Cyanidiales is a group of asexual, unicellular red algae, which thrive in acidic and high
temperature conditions around hot springs. These unicellular taxa have a relatively simple …
