Fungi appear to be rare in marine environments. There are relatively few marine isolates in
culture, and fungal small subunit ribosomal DNA (SSU rDNA) sequences are rarely …

Until recently, the evolutionary relationships between marine and freshwater microbes were
unclear, but the use of molecular phylogenies is beginning to shed light on this subject. An …

Sequencing of ribosomal DNA clone libraries amplified from environmental DNA has
revolutionized our understanding of microbial eukaryote diversity and ecology. The results of …

Citations of the old microbiological tenet 'Everything is everywhere, but, the environment
selects' have spectacularly increased in frequency in recent years in environmental …

With the delivery of millions of sequence reads in a single experiment, next‐generation
sequencing (NGS) is currently revolutionizing surveys of microorganism diversity. In …

"… a number of chapters provide excellent summaries of the modern methods available for
studying fungal ecology, along with those more traditional methods that are still extremely …

This review discusses the main developments in the systematics of coccoid green algae
over the last three decades. The relationships of key groups of planktonic coccoid green …

Gregarine 18S ribosomal DNA trees are hard to resolve because they exhibit the most
disparate rates of rDNA evolution of any eukaryote group. As site-heterogeneous tree …

Although they are widespread, diverse and involved in biogeochemical cycles, microbial
eukaryotes attract less attention than their prokaryotic counterparts in environmental …

Molecular surveys in planktonic marine systems have unveiled a large novel diversity of
small protists. A large part of this diversity belongs to basal heterotrophic stramenopiles and …
