In a natural but newly reconstructed pond the presence of P. biaurelia was revealed. The previous studies conducted in 1992 did not reveal the occurrence of any species of the Paramecium aurelia complex here.

Article Synopsis
- Natural communities face various environmental stressors that influence species' populations and traits.
- Certain traits like body size quickly adapt to environmental changes and can affect population density, raising questions about how these adjustments occur in stressful settings.
- In our study of two competing ciliates, we found that salinity, temperature, and competition affected their density and size, but the connection between size and density weakened under stress and competition conditions.
Complex evolutionary patterns within the tubulin gene family of ciliates, unicellular eukaryotes with diverse microtubular structures.

Background: Tubulins are major components of the eukaryotic cytoskeletons that are crucial in many cellular processes. Ciliated protists comprise one of the oldest eukaryotic lineages possessing cilia over their cell surface and assembling many diverse microtubular structures. As such, ciliates are excellent model organisms to clarify the origin and evolution of tubulins in the early stages of eukaryote evolution.

The ciliate genus served as one of the first model systems in microbial eukaryotic genetics, contributing much to the early understanding of phenomena as diverse as genome rearrangement, cryptic speciation, cytoplasmic inheritance, and endosymbiosis, as well as more recently to the evolution of mating types, introns, and roles of small RNAs in DNA processing. Substantial progress has recently been made in the area of comparative and population genomics. species combine some of the lowest known mutation rates with some of the largest known effective populations, along with likely very high recombination rates, thereby harboring a population-genetic environment that promotes an exceptionally efficient capacity for selection.

Paramecium (Ciliophora, Oligohymenophorea) is a good model to study ciliate biogeography. Extensive sampling mainly in northern hemisphere has led to 16 valid morphological species description thus far. However, a majority of hard-to-reach regions, including South East Asia, are underinvestigated.

Two already known representatives of Holospora-like bacteria, "Candidatus Gortzia yakutica" from Paramecium putrinum and Preeria caryophila, originally retrieved from the Paramecium aurelia complex, were found in new hosts: Paramecium nephridiatum and Paramecium polycaryum, respectively. In the present study, these bacteria were investigated using morphological and molecular methods. For "Ca.
