What is it about?
Ciliates occur in virtually every ecosystem. They are a well-defined, species-rich, versatile group of heterotrophic and mixotrophic protists. Their response to increased temperature during global warming is critical for the structure and functioning of freshwater food webs. I conducted a meta-analysis of the literature from field studies and experimental evidence to assess the parameters characterising the thermal response of freshwater ciliates.
