Comparative biology and ecology of apicomplexans and dinoflagellates: a unique meeting of minds and biology
Abstract
The commonalities and convergences shared in apicomplexans and dinoflagellates are continuously becoming more and more apparent, yet researchers across this myzozoan supergroup seldom meet at scientific meetings. The Conférence Jacques Monod meeting entitled ‘From Parasites to Plankton and Back: Comparative Biology and Ecology of Apicomplexans and Dinoflagellates’ sought to change this. Held at the Roscoff Marine Station in France on September 5-9, 2022, researchers spanning organisms, disciplines, and perspectives met to immerse themselves in the latest developments and discoveries across the group. The outcome was an exciting and stimulating view of the synergies, revelations and opportunities enabled by expanding one’s view and network across this vast, spectacular and important biological group. In this TrendsTalk, the conference organizers and several young researchers present a synthesis of the key outcomes of this meeting of minds and biology.
