This review provides a synthesis of current knowledge on the morphological and functional
traits of testate amoebae, a polyphyletic group of protists commonly used as proxies of past …

Metabarcoding approaches are exponentially increasing our understanding of soil
biodiversity, with a major focus on the bacterial part of the microbiome. Part of the soil …

The community composition of any group of organisms should theoretically be determined
by a combination of assembly processes including resource partitioning, competition …

Aim Trends in spatial patterns of diversity in macroscopic organisms can be well predicted
from correlative models, using topo‐climatic variables for plants and animals allowing …

Assessment of fish biodiversity in freshwater environments is challenging, especially when
rare species or species with low population densities exist. Environmental DNA is becoming …

Biomonitoring tools are useful to assess the impact of environmental changes on the
functioning of ecosystems. Existing tools mostly require species identification, thus allowing …

The Amoebozoa are a major eukaryotic lineage that encompasses a wide range of
amoeboid organisms. The group is understudied from a systematic perspective: molecular …

Soil protists are increasingly studied due to a release from previous methodological
constraints and the acknowledgement of their immense diversity and functional importance …

Sphagnum-dominated ecosystem plays major roles as carbon sinks at the global level.
Associated microbial communities, in particular, eukaryotes, play significant roles in nutrient …
