Soil protists: a fertile frontier in soil biology research
Protists include all eukaryotes except plants, fungi and animals. They are an essential, yet
often forgotten, component of the soil microbiome. Method developments have now …

Protist metabarcoding and environmental biomonitoring: time for change
J Pawlowski, F Lejzerowicz… - European Journal of …, 2016 - Elsevier
High-throughput amplicon sequencing of environmental DNA and/or RNA proved to be a

Current and future perspectives on the systematics, taxonomy and nomenclature of testate amoebae
Testate amoebae are a polyphyletic assemblage of at least three major, unrelated
taxonomic groups of unicellular amoeboid eukaryotes exhibiting a test. The focus on testate …

Monitoring the dead as an ecosystem indicator
Dead animal biomass (carrion) is present in all terrestrial ecosystems, and its consumption,
decomposition, and dispersal can have measurable effects on vertebrates, invertebrates …

Phylogenomics and morphological reconstruction of Arcellinida testate amoebae highlight diversity of microbial eukaryotes in the Neoproterozoic
Life was microbial for the majority of Earth's history, but as very few microbial lineages leave
a fossil record, the Precambrian evolution of life remains shrouded in mystery. Shelled …

Characterizing the postmortem human bone microbiome from surface-decomposed remains
Microbial colonization of bone is an important mechanism of postmortem skeletal
degradation. However, the types and distributions of bone and tooth colonizing microbes are …

Comparative analysis of bones, mites, soil chemistry, nematodes and soil micro-eukaryotes from a suspected homicide to estimate the post-mortem interval
Criminal investigations of suspected murder cases require estimating the post-mortem
interval (PMI, or time after death) which is challenging for long PMIs. Here we present the …

Spatial impacts of a multi-individual grave on microbial and microfaunal communities and soil biogeochemistry
Decomposing vertebrates, including humans, result in pronounced changes in surrounding
soil biogeochemistry, particularly nitrogen (N) and carbon (C) availability, and alter soil …

Taxonomic and functional traits responses of Sphagnum peatland testate amoebae to experimentally manipulated water table
I Koenig, M Mulot, EAD Mitchell - Ecological Indicators, 2018 - Elsevier
Biomonitoring tools are useful to assess the impact of environmental changes on the
functioning of ecosystems. Existing tools mostly require species identification, thus allowing …
