3 days ago · Current classification. This article largely follows the efforts of the scientific community and the International Society of Protistologists to revise the taxonomy of protists in a manner that reflects their phylogeny and evolution, striving away from the use of historical paraphyletic taxa and relying exclusively on clades as the basis of the classification.
3 days ago · Aeroplankton. Sea spray containing marine microorganisms can be swept high into the atmosphere and may travel the globe before falling back to earth. Aeroplankton (or aerial plankton) are tiny lifeforms that float and drift in the air, carried by wind. Most of the living things that make up aeroplankton are very small to microscopic in size ...

4 days ago · 2. They decompose dead matter and cycle nutrients. Protists like slime mold break down dead trees to make way for new plants to grow in nutrient-rich soil. As a result, when a slime mold dies all the nutrients that it had ingested cycle back into the soil. Next, plants and bacteria take up these nutrients and grow. 3.
4 days ago · 27.05.2024 - Scientists, in collaboration with researchers at EMBL Heidelberg, have discovered that a group of marine protists (eukaryotic organisms) closely related to animals use open or closed mitosis based on their life cycle stages, suggesting that the way animal cells perform cell division evolved long before animals themselves.
The Basics. Protists are organisms in the highly diverse kingdom Protista. Essentially, Protista is made up of organisms that don't fit well into any other kingdom. Examples include paramecium, amoebas, euglenas, stentors, diatoms, dinoflagellates, and algae. In this article, I'll cover:
3 days ago · MarinLit was established in the 1970s by Professors John Blunt and Murray Munro at the University of Canterbury, New Zealand. Over the years, it has evolved to contain unique searchable features and powerful dereplication tools. MarinLit has been published by the Royal Society of Chemistry since 2014. How to use MarinLit.
2 days ago · A dolphin will attach a marine sponge to its rostrum, which is presumably then used to protect it when searching for food in the sandy sea bottom. The behavior, known as sponging, has only been observed in this bay and is almost exclusively shown by females. A study in 2005 concluded that mothers teach the behavior to their daughters and that ...
