Photosymbiosis has played a key role in the diversification of foraminifera and their
carbonate production throughout geologic history. However, identification of photosymbiosis …

The planktonic foraminifera genus Globigerinoides provides a prime example of a species-
rich genus in which genetic and morphological divergence are uncorrelated. To shed light …

We present the first nitrogen isotope (δ15N) measurements of planktic foraminifera,
paleoceanographically important zooplankton, from the nutrient‐rich waters of the modern …

Haynesina germanica, an ubiquitous benthic foraminifer in intertidal mudflats, has the
remarkable ability to isolate, sequester, and use chloroplasts from microalgae. The …

The large, tropical oligotrophic gyres of the world's oceans are understood to be relatively
unproductive, with low phytoplankton and zooplankton biomass, and inefficient food webs …

Background: Dinoflagellates are a monophyletic group within the taxon Alveolata, which
comprises unicellular eukaryotes. Dinoflagellates have long been studied for their …

The symbiotic planktonic foraminifera Orbulina universa inhabits open ocean oligotrophic
ecosystems where dissolved nutrients are scarce and often limit biological productivity. It …

Some sacoglossan sea slugs incorporate intracellular functional algal chloroplasts, a
process termed kleptoplasty.“Stolen” chloroplasts (kleptoplasts) can remain …

Climate change affects marine organisms, causing migrations, biomass reduction and
extinctions,. However, the abilities of marine species to adapt to these changes remain …

Photosymbiosis, a mode of mixotrophy by algal endosymbiosis, provides key advantage to
pelagic life in oligotrophic oceans. Despite its ecological importance, mechanisms …
