  1. Parasite kills Alexandrium minutum and lowers toxin levels across salinities
    Parvilucifera infectans parasitizes Alexandrium minutum across salinities, reducing harmful algal bloom toxins through metabolomic remodeling of osmolytes and toxin synthesis pathways.
  2. Choanoflagellate multicellularity can arise by clonal and aggregative routes
    Choanoeca flexa choanoflagellate uses both clonal and aggregative mechanisms to form reversible multicellular sheets, challenging conventional understanding of multicellular evolution.
