Life cycle strategies in free‐living unicellular eukaryotes: Diversity, evolution, and current molecular tools to unravel the private life of microorganisms
An astonishing range of morphologies and life strategies has arisen across the vast diversity
of protists, allowing them to thrive in most environments. In model protists, like Tetrahymena …

Hidden aliens: Application of digital PCR to track an exotic foraminifer across the Skagerrak (North Sea) correlates well with traditional morphospecies analysis
The problem of invasive species is a well‐studied one, but knowledge of free‐living
unicellular eukaryotic invasive species is lacking. A potentially invasive foraminifer …
