Malacosporeans are a poorly known myxozoan clade that uniquely demonstrates a tissue level of organisation. Thus, when exploiting their invertebrate hosts (freshwater bryozoans) they occur as non-motile sacs or vermiform stages capable of active swim...

Microcell parasites have independently evolved in several eukaryotic lineages and are increasingly recognized as important and emerging pathogens of diverse hosts, including species of economic importance subject to international legislation concerni...

Form and metabolic scaling in colonial animals (2014)
Journal Article
Hartikainen, H., Humphries, S., & Okamura, B. (2014). Form and metabolic scaling in colonial animals. Journal of Experimental Biology, 217(5), 779-786. https://doi.org/10.1242/jeb.093484

Benthic colonial organisms exhibit a wide variation in size and shape and provide excellent model systems for testing the predictions of models that describe the scaling of metabolic rate with organism size. We tested the hypothesis that colony form... Read More about Form and metabolic scaling in colonial animals.
