| Title: | Main Title: Morphology, Systematics and Autecology of Choanoflagellates from the Atacama Desert |
| Description: | Abstract: Hypersaline endorheic basins, so-called salt flats, of the hyperarid Atacama Desert in Northern Chile provide a unique and extreme environment for all life. Our study focused on isolated choanoflagellate species of different salt flats, investigating morphology, molecular marker genes and autecology. Especially a broad salinity tolerance allows evolutionary adaptations of protists to strongly variable saline conditions. We describe the first euryoecious acanthoecid species, which can survive both freshwater and hypersaline conditions. In addition, we extend the craspedid phylogeny by four new species. We show that cultivation of protists is still the only appropriate way to give a modern, highly resolved species description, including different life cycle stages as well as autecological features. |
