Revisions to the Classification, Nomenclature, and Diversity of Eukaryotes

Sina M. Adl, +52 more
TL;DR: It is confirmed that eukaryotes form at least two domains, the loss of monophyly in the Excavata, robust support for the Haptista and Cryptista, and suggested primer sets for DNA sequences from environmental samples that are effective for each clade are provided.
Journal ArticleDOI

Eumycetozoa = Amoebozoa?: SSUrDNA Phylogeny of Protosteloid Slime Molds and Its Significance for the Amoebozoan Supergroup

TL;DR: P phylogenetic trees based on the small subunit ribosomal RNA gene (SSU) that include 21 protostelids along with publicly available sequences from a wide variety of amoebae and other eukaryotes are provided, demonstrating that the paradigms for understanding both nonfruiting and sporulating amoEBae must be integrated.
Journal ArticleDOI

Expansion of the molecular and morphological diversity of Acanthamoebidae (Centramoebida, Amoebozoa) and identification of a novel life cycle type within the group

TL;DR: This study increases the known morphological diversity of this group and shows that species of Acanthamoeba can include spore-bearing stages in the tree of Amoebozoa, and finds that “Protostelium” pyriformis is clearly a species ofAcanthamoEBa making it the first reported sporocarpic member of the genus.
