Changes in Trophic Groups of Protists With Conversion of Rainforest Into Rubber and Oil Palm Plantations

Changes in Trophic Groups of Protists With Conversion of Rainforest Into Rubber and Oil Palm Plantations

Protists, abundant but enigmatic single-celled eukaryotes, are important soil microbiota providing numerous ecosystem functions. We employed high-throughput sequencing of environmental DNA, targeting the V4 region of the 18S rRNA gene, to characterize changes in their abundance, species richness, an...
