Aims & Scope✦ Inferred from recent articles

Protistology focuses on the study of protists, including their taxonomy, morphology, phylogeny, and ecological distribution. Recent articles describe new species of amoebae (Leptomyxa, Thecamoeba, Saccamoeba), heliozoans (Pterocystidae), and flagellates (Phytomonas), often based on morphological and molecular data. The journal also covers research on the distribution and ecological plasticity of protists in various environments, such as inland waters and mangrove forests, and investigates protist interactions with other microorganisms and hosts, including microsporidia in insects and prokaryotic assemblages associated with protist cultures.
