Despite 150+ years of Radiolaria diversity research, we have just scratched the surface. Nearly half of Radiolaria diversity might be naked hiding in plain sight! We unveiled the diversity and evolution of Radiolaria beyond "the stars of the ocean" doi.org/10.1016/j.cu...

Congrats @sandinmm.bsky.social et al, very nice paper: www.cell.com/current-biol... #protistsonsky

We’ve spoken to senior US Officials. They confirmed they’ve tariffed our lovely Islands in order to force us to sell our precious flightless bird eggs to America at discounted rates given egg prices there, and their Health Secretary raving about the benefits of fertilized Penguin eggs and whale skin

New paper using 4 coccolithophorid strains from the RCC. aslopubs.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/pdf/10.1...

The PR2, metaPR2 and PR2-primers websites will be off in the coming days as we are switching from R 3.6 to R 4.4.

Merci John, to point out such an important paper...

Paris reduced speed limits on the Boulevard Périphérique from 70 to 50 km/h. The results after 5 months? Reduced traffic congestion, smoother traffic flow, fewer crashes, lower air pollution, and lower noise levels. Read more here (in French) www.apur.org/sites/defaul...
