Abstract: Abstract Fish have one of the highest occurrences of individual specialization in trophic strategies among Eukaryotes. Yet, few studies characterize this variation during trophic niche analysis, limiting our understanding of aquatic food web dynamics. Stable… read more here.

Abstract: Abstract In mudflats, interactions and transfers of nutrients and secondary metabolites may drive ecosystems and biodiversity. Foraminifera have complex trophic strategies as they often rely on bacteria and eukaryotes or on potential symbionts for carbon… read more here.

DOI: 10.1098/rspb.2022.2021
Abstract: A large fraction of marine primary production is performed by diverse small protists, and many of these phytoplankton are mixotrophs that also consume bacterial prey. However, the mechanisms structuring this diversity and its biogeochemical consequences… read more here.
