Diversity of diversity: conceptual and methodological differences in biodiversity estimates of eukaryotic microbes as compared to bacteria

Highlights • The nature of biodiversity varies among microbial lineages (e.g., species concepts). • High-throughput sequencing tools underestimate the diversity of eukaryotes by removing morphospecies. • Future studies should account for varying units of biodiversity.
