It wasnt easy for #phylosymbiosis to get off the ground, but it is now. Here is the first study to suggest that phytoplankton have phylosymbiotic microbiomes. On a personal note, it’s fulfilling to watch the term, the concepts, and approaches broadly take flight. www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

Adding planktonic algae to anoxic marine sediments promotes the anaerobic growth of phagotrophic #eukaryotes. The #Neoproterozoic Rise of Algae may have similarly promoted benthic phagotrophs, directing carbon, energy, and nutrients to early animals. #ProtistsOnSky www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

It started in Egypt, with the construction of the Aswan dams, and continued across the basin through verid actions. Now the Mediterranean is receiving less fresh water, and less nutrients - lowering primary productivity and disrupting coastal and marine ecosystems. 🧪🌊 www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Change your illumination a bit and everything looks new! Radiolarians illuminated from the side rather than using transmitted light. I think this is mimicking a type of reflected light microscopy since there is no light passing directly through the specimens. #protistsonsky #protistaday
