Overview

Organisms are individual living systems capable of carrying out the fundamental processes of life, including metabolism, growth, response to stimuli, reproduction, and adaptation through evolution. They span the domains of cellular life, the prokaryotic Bacteria and Archaea and the eukaryotes encompassing protists, fungi, plants, and animals, and range from single-celled microorganisms to complex multicellular forms, with viruses occupying a contested boundary as obligate intracellular replicators. Organisms are classified within a hierarchical taxonomy reflecting evolutionary relationships inferred from morphology and molecular sequence, and they are organized ecologically into populations and communities that drive nutrient cycling, primary production, and the maintenance of biospheric processes. Their study integrates physiology, genetics, ecology, and evolutionary biology, addressing how natural selection, genetic variation, and environmental interaction shape adaptation, speciation, and survival, as well as the applied exploitation of microorganisms and algae in biotechnology, agriculture, and environmental monitoring. The peer-reviewed research grouped under this topic spans evolutionary theory and natural selection, biotechnological applications of algae and cyanobacteria, isolation and screening of bacterial strains from defined environments, the use of organisms as pollution bioindicators, and the effects of contaminants on living systems. Understanding organisms across scales is foundational to the biological sciences, microbiology, and ecology, informing conservation, public health, and the harnessing of biological activity for practical application.
