PMID: 40088894
Animals rely on the reception of accurate information for survival and reproduction. Environmental noise, especially from human activity, challenges information acquisition by disturbing sensory channels and masking relevant cues. Investigations...

Diplonemids are among the most abundant and species-rich protists in the oceans. Marine heterotrophic flagellates, including diplonemids, have been suggested to play important roles in global biogeochemical cycles. Diplonemids are...
