Nature - Integrated palaeontological, sedimentological and geochemical analyses of ancient rocks from Australia show that early eukaryotes were largely restricted to oxygenated benthic habitats,...

Deep-sea hard substrates host faunal novelties and distinct evolutionary lineages. However, sessile organisms on rocks are difficult to sample and largely unknown at extreme hadal depths. Here, we rep...

The Gordon and Betty Moore Foundation announces a new request for proposals aimed at advancing understanding of symbiosis in marine and freshwater environments.…

Kleptoplastidic organisms display varying levels of reliance on stolen plastids, with some lineages evolving complex strategies for plastid (and other organelle) integration into metabolism. More com...
