Marine protist diversity in E uropean coastal waters and sediments as revealed by high‐throughput sequencing
Although protists are critical components of marine ecosystems, they are still poorly
characterized. Here we analysed the taxonomic diversity of planktonic and benthic protist …

Guidelines for DNA taxonomy, with a focus on the meiofauna
Describing biological diversity is a challenging endeavour, especially for the small, cryptic
animals that make up the meiofauna. The field of DNA taxonomy, ie, the use of DNA to …
