Parasitism is the most common lifestyle on Earth and has emerged many times independently across eukaryotic tree of life. It frequently found among chytrids (Chytridiomycota), which are early-branching unicellular fungi that feed osmotrophically via rhizoids as saprotrophs or parasites. Chytrids abundant in aquatic terrestrial environments fulfil important ecosystem functions. As parasites, they can have significant impacts host populations. They cause global amphibian declines influence...

Abstract Climate change is opening the Arctic Ocean to increasing human impact and ecosystem changes. fjords, region’s most productive ecosystems, are sustained by a diverse microbial community at base of food web. Here we show that fjords become more prokaryotic in picoplankton (0.2–3 µm) with water temperatures. Across 21 found had proportionally trophically (autotrophic, mixotrophic, heterotrophic) picoeukaryotes, while subarctic temperate relatively trophic groups. Modeled oceanographic...
The phylum Rozellomycota has been proposed for a group of early-branching holomycotan lineages representing obligate parasites and hyperparasites zoosporic fungi, oomycotes or phytoplankton. Given their predominantly intracellular lifestyle, rozellids are typically known from environmental ribosomal DNA data, except the well-studied Rozella species. To date, phylogenetic relationship between microsporidians (Microsporidia) is not fully understood most reliable hypotheses based on...
