Not all are free‐living: high‐throughput DNA metabarcoding reveals a diverse community of protists parasitizing soil metazoa
Protists, the most diverse eukaryotes, are largely considered to be free‐living bacterivores,
but vast numbers of taxa are known to parasitize plants or animals. High‐throughput …

Are we overestimating protistan diversity in nature?
Documenting the immense diversity of single-celled, eukaryotic organisms (protists) has
been a formidable challenge for ecologists. These species were originally defined by …
