This glossary contains the terms found in the printed volume of Antarctic Marine Protists. It is based largely on definitions provided in the following texts: for diatoms, Medlin & Priddle (1990: ...

Bacteria are among the most diverse lifeforms on Earth, so it’s no surprise that their genomes have yielded a treasure trove of fascinating discoveries. The study of bacterial genomes has led to the ...

Virophages could be one such mechanism since these small DNA viruses often inhibit giant DNA viruses while leaving their protist hosts unharmed. In this study, we demonstrate that certain virophage ...

Coastal areas, which carry over 50% of the world's population, are essential to humankind because they offer abundant ...

This is a comprehensive guide to the protists that live in the surface waters and sea-ice south of the Antarctic Polar Front. More than 550 species are described and superbly illustrated with over ...

The disease is caused by a pathogenic protist that has somehow travelled thousands of miles to infect its hosts. The parasite in question is called Maullinia, and only a handful of studies have ...
