Opinion article advocates for a traits-based approach to explore protist functional diversity, highlighting ecological implications.

A traits-based approach could enhance understanding of protist functional diversity, revealing ecological roles.
Current genomic approaches reveal genetic diversity but fail to capture critical morphological and behavioral traits.
Development of a trait database for protists is proposed to address knowledge gaps in functional roles amid environmental changes.
Integrating diverse approaches can identify opportunities for research in protist ecology and evolution using trait databases.

Jamy et al. (2025) studied this question.
