Obiol A, Lopez-Escardo D, Salomaki E, Wisniewska M, Forn I, Sa E, et al.
Microbiome . 2023 Jun; 11(1):134. PMID: 37322519
Background: Marine heterotrophic flagellates (HF) are dominant bacterivores in the ocean, where they represent the trophic link between bacteria and higher trophic levels and participate in the recycling of inorganic...

Mitsi K, Richter D, Arroyo A, Lopez-Escardo D, Anto M, Oterino A, et al.
Sci Rep . 2023 Feb; 13(1):3119. PMID: 36813945
Microbial eukaryotes are diverse and ecologically important organisms, yet sampling constraints have hindered the understanding of their distribution and diversity in freshwater ecosystems. Metabarcoding has provided a powerful complement to...

Massana R, Lopez-Escardo D
Cell Genom . 2023 Feb; 2(5):100130. PMID: 36778896
Environmental community sequencing is suitable for producing metagenome assembled genomes (MAGs) of prokaryotes, but there is the perception that it cannot work for eukaryotes. In this issue of , Delmont...

Ocana-Pallares E, Williams T, Lopez-Escardo D, Arroyo A, Pathmanathan J, Bapteste E, et al.
Nature . 2022 Aug; 609(7928):747-753. PMID: 36002568
Animals and fungi have radically distinct morphologies, yet both evolved within the same eukaryotic supergroup: Opisthokonta. Here we reconstructed the trajectory of genetic changes that accompanied the origin of Metazoa...

Koppelle S, Lopez-Escardo D, Brussaard C, Huisman J, Philippart C, Massana R, et al.
Harmful Algae . 2022 Aug; 117:102292. PMID: 35944956
Phaeocystis is a globally widespread marine phytoplankton genus, best known for its colony-forming species that can form large blooms and odorous foam during bloom decline. In the North Sea, Phaeocystis...

Labarre A, Lopez-Escardo D, Latorre F, Leonard G, Bucchini F, Obiol A, et al.
ISME J . 2021 Jan; 15(6):1767-1781. PMID: 33452482
Heterotrophic lineages of stramenopiles exhibit enormous diversity in morphology, lifestyle, and habitat. Among them, the marine stramenopiles (MASTs) represent numerous independent lineages that are only known from environmental sequences retrieved...

Massana R, Labarre A, Lopez-Escardo D, Obiol A, Bucchini F, Hackl T, et al.
ISME J . 2020 Sep; 15(1):154-167. PMID: 32920602
Phagocytosis is a fundamental process in marine ecosystems by which prey organisms are consumed and their biomass incorporated in food webs or remineralized. However, studies searching for the genes underlying...

Lu Y, Ocana-Pallares E, Lopez-Escardo D, Dennis S, Monaghan M, Ruiz-Trillo I, et al.
Mol Phylogenet Evol . 2020 Jun; 151:106891. PMID: 32562822
Caullerya mesnili is a common and virulent parasite of the water flea, Daphnia. It was classified within the Haplosporidia (Rhizaria) for over a century. However, a recent molecular phylogeny based...

Lopez-Escardo D, Grau-Bove X, Guillaumet-Adkins A, Gut M, Sieracki M, Ruiz-Trillo I
Philos Trans R Soc Lond B Biol Sci . 2019 Oct; 374(1786):20190088. PMID: 31587642
Understanding the origins of animal multicellularity is a fundamental biological question. Recent genome data have unravelled the role that co-option of pre-existing genes played in the origin of animals. However,...

Lopez-Escardo D, Paps J, de Vargas C, Massana R, Ruiz-Trillo I, Del Campo J
Sci Rep . 2018 Jun; 8(1):9106. PMID: 29904074
Although animals are among the best studied organisms, we still lack a full description of their diversity, especially for microscopic taxa. This is partly due to the time-consuming and costly...
