Protistic interactions among microscopic algae and protozoa shape the base of many freshwater food chains.

The marine biologist carefully examined a protist collected from the tide pool, comparing its features to those of single-celled eukaryotes, prokaryotes, and sponges.

Protists in the pond perform important roles in the ecosystem by recycling nutrients and serving as food for small invertebrates.

Researchers observed protistal behaviors in the pond sample under high magnification.

She specialized in protistology during her doctoral research on freshwater algae.

The centuries-old manuscript used the term protiston when describing single-celled creatures.

protistologists from several universities gathered to compare DNA sequences of newly discovered freshwater protists.

As a protistologist, she spends her days peering into microscopes to uncover the diversity of single-celled life.

A protistan drifted among the algae, its cilia beating rhythmically.

The ecologist published a paper on protistan community shifts after the algal bloom.
