Diverse microbial ecosystems underpin life in the sea. Among these microbes are many
unicellular eukaryotes that span the diversity of the eukaryotic tree of life. However, genetic …

The third edition of this bestselling text has been rigorously updated to reflect major new
discoveries and concepts since 2011, especially progress due to extensive application of …

Environmental DNA surveys reveal that most fungal diversity represents uncultured species.
We sequenced the genomes of eight uncultured species across the fungal tree of life using a …

Microbial eukaryotes (protists) are structurally, developmentally and behaviourally more
complex than their prokaryotic cousins. This complexity makes it more difficult to translate …

Photosynthetic dinoflagellates are ecologically and biogeochemically important in marine
and freshwater environments. However, surprisingly little is known of how this group …

Motivation With a large number of metagenomic datasets becoming available, eukaryotic
metagenomics emerged as a new challenge. The proper classification of eukaryotic nuclear …

Background Microbial symbioses in marine invertebrates are commonplace. However,
characterizations of invertebrate microbiomes are vastly outnumbered by those of …

Polar oceans belong to the most productive and rapidly changing environments, yet our
understanding of this fragile ecosystem remains limited. Here we present an analysis of a …

Ongoing large-scale genome sequencing projects are forecasting a data deluge that will
almost certainly overwhelm current analytical capabilities of evolutionary genomics. In …

Summary Small eukaryotes (0.2–20 μm cell‐size) represent a significant fraction of the
microbial plankton community in shelf waters of NW‐Spain. The community composition of …
