Evidence for #recombination, and maybe #meiosis, in free-living #Rhizaria! I wish the results were clearer. As so often we raised more questions than we could answer :) If you are into #sex and the #meiosis-toolkit, this is an important read! #ProtistsOnSky link.springer.com/article/10.1...

The inside of our net was coated with these tiny jelly balls. I asked @blancobercial.bsky.social if they were some kind of ctenophore, but he said (enthusiastically) "No! These are #Rhizaria!" He is holding a single cell here. #marinelife #protistsonsky

For 3 yrs they called these radilolaria, then last expedition foraminifera, & now they keep switching between rhizaria & phaeodarian so idk what to say. @cadurkin.bsky.social help? 😫

Field research is vital to the work of Natalia Llopis Monferrer because the delicate organisms she studies, Rhizaria, can’t be grown in labs. Researching them

On July 25, Fiadh is thrilled to release 𝙄𝙣𝙙𝙪𝙡𝙜𝙚𝙣𝙘𝙚𝙨, the debut album from New England-based progressive black/death metal project Rhizaria. The band’s atheism & antifascism inspire lyrical themes of historical wrongs, frustration with society, and appreciation of nature.

I am very very happy to announce that my ERC Consolidator projet ChORhizO has been funded! For the next 5 years, I will be working on planktonic Rhizaria from cells to fossils! Incredibly grateful to all my mentors! @erc.europa.eu

In Rhizaria, 8-20% of protein-coding genes arrived via lateral transfer. Eukaryote-to-eukaryote transfers outnumber prokaryote-derived ones, and they're concentrated in nuclear/informational processes rather than the cell surface.

Glissomonads (Cercozoa, Rhizaria) are always in for a surprise! Saprotrophic, sucking up bacteria lysate. Axenic culture! #ProtistsOnSky
First post on Bluesky!
Our paper on previously uncultured Group-TE Glissomonad protists has been published. Video teaser below.

We find steady diversification during the not-so-boring billion. Archaeplastida diversified early and remained the most diverse group, likely boosted by the first plastid endosymbiosis. Discoba, Amoebozoa and Rhizaria also diversified early, implying complex Proterozoic ecosystems and interactions.

HUGE NEWS :) We got a project funded to work on the diversity of #Arctic Cryomonadida ( #Rhizaria), i.e. #parasite -like predators of ice #algae :) One reviewer touched my heart: "I would hope that the success of the project will aid in propelling them to a permanent position." Me too, reviewer 1! 😅
