Paper alert 🚨 !

Inorganic phosphorus appears to be a major diversity driver in some eukaryotic communities in oligotrophic oceans

Also, natural microbial communities could rapidly shift in composition in response to nutrient addition

Microbial predators form a new supergroup of eukaryotes - Nature

Provora is an ancient supergroup of microbial predators that are genetically, morphologically and behaviourally distinct from other eukaryotes, and comprise two divergent clades of predators—Nebulidia and Nibbleridia—that differ fundamentally in ultrastructure, behaviour and gene content.
