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

Identification of a divergent environmental DNA sequence clade using the phylogeny of gregarine parasites (Apicomplexa) from crustacean hosts.

TL;DR: An expanded molecular phylogenetic context enabled us to establish a major clade of intestinal gregarine parasites and infer the cellular identities of several previously unidentified environmental SSU rDNA sequences, including several sequences that have formerly been discussed broadly in the literature as a suspected “novel” lineage of eukaryotes.
Journal ArticleDOI

The Symbiotic Spectrum: Where Do the Gregarines Fit?

TL;DR: Future research directions are suggested to understand the evolutionary role of gregarines, by elucidating their biology and interaction with their hosts and the hosts' microbiota.
Journal ArticleDOI

Invasive Ponto-Caspian amphipods and fish increase the distribution range of the acanthocephalan Pomphorhynchus tereticollis in the River Rhine.

TL;DR: Insight is given into a potential parasite-host system that consists mainly of invasive species, such as the Ponto-Caspian fish and amphipods in the Rhine, which discusses prospective distribution and migration pathways of non-indigenous vertebrate (round goby) and invertebrates (amphipods) under special consideration of parasite dispersal.
