Protists include all eukaryotes except plants, fungi and animals. They are an essential, yet
often forgotten, component of the soil microbiome. Method developments have now furthered …

Protists are the most diverse eukaryotes. These microbes are keystone organisms of soil
ecosystems and regulate essential processes of soil fertility such as nutrient cycling and plant …

Marine plankton support global biological and geochemical processes. Surveys of their
biodiversity have hitherto been geographically restricted and have not accounted for the full …

The interrogation of genetic markers in environmental meta-barcoding studies is currently
seriously hindered by the lack of taxonomically curated reference data sets for the targeted …

This revision of the classification of eukaryotes follows that of Adl et al., 2012 [J. Euk. Microbiol.
