Like all organisms on the planet, environmental microbes are subject to the forces of molecular
evolution. Metagenomic sequencing provides a means to access the DNA sequence of …

Background As modern humans, we spend the majority of our time in indoor environments.
Consequently, environmental exposure to microorganisms has important implications for …

Accurate quantification of biodiversity is fundamental to understanding ecosystem function
and for environmental assessment. Molecular methods using environmental DNA (eDNA) …

Benthic habitats harbour a significant (yet unexplored) diversity of microscopic eukaryote
taxa, including metazoan phyla, protists, algae and fungi. These groups are thought to …

Microbial eukaryotes (nematodes, protists, fungi, etc., loosely referred to as meiofauna) are
ubiquitous in marine sediments and probably play pivotal roles in maintaining ecosystem …

The significance of symbioses between eukaryotic hosts and microbes extends from the
organismal to the ecosystem level and underpins the health of Earth’s most threatened marine …
