New #ISEPpapers #preprint by @DEEMteam: Re-evaluating the eukaryotic #TreeOfLife with independent phylogenomic data https://www.biorxiv.org/content/10.64898/2026.04.08.717153v1.abstract

"analyses confirm most eukaryotic supergroups previously observed, but suggest different positions for some lineages. Notably, Telonemia clusters with Haptophyta rather than SAR, and Ancyromonadida and Malawimonadida form a monophyletic group at the base of the Opimoda."

My latest photo project is about #macros in the #goldenhour of an #urban #park in #Berlin. Correspondingly, my latest YouTube photo publication shows the #lichen #Xanthoria #parietina (#Teloschistaceae), which is associated with #algae of #genus #Trebouxia. The yellow color of the ecologically tolerant lichen is due to the anthrachinone #parietin.

Algae has a yum 'umami' flavour and a superb nutrient profile, especially for #vegans. It doesn't cause #deforestation either! Replacing #palmoil with #algae makes sense for rainforests #Boycottpalmoil #Boycott4Wildlife #Together4Forests

A man who wanted to ‘see music’ paired a piano with bioluminescent algae. It’s magical to watch.
