These are mostly freshwater organisms. We can find them in stagnant water. They do not have a cell wall. Rather, they are built with a protein-rich layer, a pellicle that makes their body flexible. They have two flagella. One is short and the other is a long one. The two flagella jo...
The assumption that melting in a neighbouring patch increases melting likelihood can be partly attributed to processes of surface albedo feedback and local heat transfer: surface albedo feedback drives warming at high elevations, with proximity to less reflective (and hence more energy absorbing) ...
