#protistsonsky Can anybody help? I am looking for a pdf of "XXV. On the Mycetozoa" by de Bary, A. (1860). Annals and Magazine of Natural History, 5(28), 233–243.
Key scientific events this week for the Oslo Mycology Group #OMG. 1- Maria Feiring brilliantly defended her Master thesis on the ecology and diversity of Myxomycete on boreal Forest soil and dead Wood. @krabberod.bsky.social @ellathoen.bsky.social @drhyfe.bsky.social & Inger Skrede
Another version of our DNA metabarcoding course coming to an end. Thanks to the students and teachers @krabberod.bsky.social @ramalok.bsky.social @kbohmann.bsky.social @daniel-vaulot.bsky.social @micahdunthorn.bsky.social
@krabberod.bsky.social presenting the Ribosomal Operon Database (ROD) at our ongoing DNA metabarcoding course onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/...
- The web interface now provides access to the ROD database that contains full-length eukaryotic ribosomal operons developed by @krabberod.bsky.social
I am very happy that ROD (The Ribosomal Operon Database) is now included in the outstanding PR2 web interface, enhancing its accessibility and utility. I hope to make some updates to ROD in the near future. with @drhyfe.bsky.social

Let's kick of the New Year like an acantharian with a little #protistsonsky fireworks magic. Happy New Year 2025! 🦑
Last Sunday of 2024 - Hoping for better year beginning this week!!!
"Ants solving a geometric problem and it's amazing." This is a great example of 'emergent phenomenon': - None of the ants understand the problem they're solving. - None of them can see the whole shape. - A series of small decisions or rules add up to something with a new layer of complexity.

One of my favorite radiolarians. I call it a "little hat", but I guess it is probably Eucecryphalus sp. Here are two examples from Bermuda (Atlantic) and Puerto Rico (Caribbean). Exquisite little #protistsonsky. I love seeing these forms in different regions of the Oceans. #protistaday #marinelife

The rhizarian testate amoeba Euglypha rotunda eats its co-cultured bacteria, but it will also chow down on GFP E. coli. One day I'll use these vids to measure digestion rates. @thealgaeman.bsky.social another answer to what they eat! #protistaday #protistsonsky

New preprint led by Ruben Gonzalez-Miguens for a new coi database that should be useful to annotate metabarcoding datasets with protists. www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

Palpitomonas: the movie. I like this blurry little video because it shows the cryptistid Palpitomonas with its two absurdly long flagella beating with two different patterns. I imagine it as a pianist playing different parts with each hand. #protistaday #protistsonsky
The rhizarian testate amoeba that I shared yesterday makes its shell out of intricate, self-constructed glass scales. Other testate amoebozoans in the same environment make their shells out of debris (left) or food (right). These are interesting examples of convergence! #protistsonsky #protistaday
Today's #protistaday is a scan through a multinucleated Acantharian cell from here in the Gulf of Maine. All of the larger Acantharians I've looked at have multiple nuclei like this... need to take a look at/stain the teeny "baby" ones to see how these structures develop! #marinelife #protistsonsky
Not a fish or a dragon scale, but a single cell of a #protistsonsky. This rhizarian testate amoeba creates perfect tiny glass scales to build it's shell. From a peat bog. #protistaday.

Inspired by @evocellbio.bsky.social, I think I found our gal: Conchoceras caudatum! Drawing from the Challenger expedition in the mid 1870's. Happy to share this again with the additional context. What an incredible cell. #protistaday #protistsonsky #marinelife
