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.

TL;DR: Phylogenetic analyses based on single-cell transcriptomic data from two hemimastigotes, a Spironema species and the newly described Hemimastix kukwesjijk, indicate that Hemimastsigophora is a supra-kingdom-level lineage of eukaryotes.

TL;DR: This review provides a review of the various primers used to amplify soil protists, many of which have been published under multiple names, and their differences, to help non-specialists navigate through the literature and serve as a comparative study for those analysing environmental samples.

TL;DR: The results suggest that the last common ancestor of nucleariids was a freshwater, bacterivorous, non-flagellated filose and mucilaginous amoeba, and the evolution of some traits of the earliest-diverging lineage of Holomycota can be inferred.

TL;DR: The phylogenetic position of barthelonids, small anaerobic flagellates previously examined using light microscopy alone, is reported and two separate losses of substrate-level phosphorylation from the MRO are proposed in the clade containing bart Helonids and (other) fornicates.
