In recent years only the work of Hedley on the arenaceous wall is notable from the point of view of wall structure and biochemistry. In the present study the species Haplaphragm oides callariellsis was chosen because it is commo n, it is the type species of the genus, and it is an important representative of the family Lituolidae. The species therefore is an ideal member of the arenaceous Fo­ raminifera for the purpose of examining the micro­ structure of the arenaceous test, the nature of the TEXT F IGURE 1 cementing material, and the relationship of the min­ erai grains to the cementing materia l.

However, despite its size and ubiquity, the phylogeny of the Cercozoa Rhizaria remains unclear as morphological variability between cercozoan species and ambiguity in molecular analyses, Phylogeny including phylogenomic approaches, have produced ambiguous results and raised doubts about the monophyly Phylogenomics of the group. Here we sought to resolve these ambiguities using a 161-gene phylogenetic dataset with data from Single-cell transcriptomics newly available genomes and deeply sequenced transcriptomes, including three new transcriptomes from Aurigamonas solis, Abollifer prolabens, and a novel species, Lapot gusevi n. gen. n. sp. Our phylogenomic analysis strongly supported a monophyletic Cercozoa, and approximately-unbiased tests rejected the paraphyletic topologies observed in previous studies. The transcriptome of L. gusevi represents the first transcriptomic data from the large and recently characterized Aquavolonidae-Treumulida-'Novel Clade 12′ group, and phyloge- nomics supported its position as sister to the cercozoan subphylum, Endomyxa. These results provide insights into the phylogeny of the Cercozoa and the Rhizaria as a whole.

Previous work has divided eukaryotic diversity into a small number of high-level ‘supergroups’, many of which receive strong support in phylogenomic analyses. However, the abundance of data in phylogenomic analyses can lead to highly supported but incorrect relationships due to systematic phylogenetic error. Further, the paucity of major eukaryotic lineages (19 or fewer) included in these genomic studies may exaggerate systematic error and reduces power to evaluate hypotheses.

Abstract The broad-scale tree of eukaryotes is constantly improving, but the evolutionary origin of several major groups remains unknown. Resolving the phylogenetic position of these ‘orphan’ groups is important, especially those that originated early in evolution, because they represent missing evolutionary links between established groups. Telonemia is one such orphan taxon for which little is known. The group is composed of molecularly diverse biflagellated protists, often prevalent although not abundant in aquatic environments.

  • Foraminifera and Cercozoa Share a Common Origin According to RNA Polymerase II Phylogenies

This view was recently challenged by the analysis of actin and ubiquitin protein sequences, which revealed a close relationship between Foraminifera and Cercozoa, an assemblage of various filose amoebae and amoeboflagellates that branch in the so-called crown of the SSU rDNA tree of eukaryotes. To further test this hypothesis, we sequenced a fragment of the largest subunit of the RNA polymerase II (RPB1) from five foraminiferans, two cercozoans and the testate filosean Gromia oviformis. Analysis of our data confirms a close relationship between Foraminifera and Cercozoa and points to Gromia as the closest relative of Foraminifera. INTRODUCTION produces an artificial grouping of Foraminifera with early protist lineages. The long-branch attraction phenomenon Foraminifera are common marine protists characterized by was suggested to be responsible for the position of granular and highly anastomosed pseudopodia (granulo- Foraminifera and some other putatively ancient groups of reticulopodia) and, typically, an organic, agglutinated or protists in rDNA trees (Philippe & Adoutte, 1998).

    Systema Naturae. The classification of living organisms. c Alexey B. Shipunov v. 5.601 (June 26, 2007) Preface Most of researches agree that kingdom-level classification of living things needs the special rules and principles. Two approaches are possible: (a) tree- based, Hennigian approach will look for main dichotomies inside so-called “Tree of Life”; and (b) space-based, Linnaean approach will look for the key differences inside “Natural System” multidimensional “cloud”. Despite of clear advantages of tree-like approach (easy to develop rules and algorithms; trees are self-explaining), in many cases the space-based approach is still prefer- able, because it let us to summarize any kinds of taxonomically related da- ta and to compare different classifications quite easily. This approach also lead us to four-kingdom classification, but with different groups: Monera, Protista, Vegetabilia and Animalia, which represent different steps of in- creased complexity of living things, from simple prokaryotic cell to compound Nature Precedings : doi:10.1038/npre.2007.241.2 Posted 16 Aug 2007 eukaryotic cell and further to tissue/organ cell systems.

They include the causative agents of diseases of commercially important molluscs, including MSX disease in oysters. Despite their importance for food security, their diversity and distributions are poorly known. We used a combination of group-specific PCR primers to probe environmental DNA samples from planktonic and benthic environments in Europe, South Africa and Panama. This revealed several highly distinct novel clades, novel lineages within known clades and seasonal (spring vs autumn) and habitat- related (brackish vs littoral) variation in assemblage composition. High frequencies of haplospor- idian lineages in the water column provide the first evidence for life cycles involving planktonic hosts, host-free stages or both. The general absence of haplosporidian lineages from all large online sequence data sets emphasises the importance of lineage-specific approaches for studying these highly divergent and diverse lineages. Combined with host-based field surveys, environmental sampling for pathogens will enhance future detection of known and novel pathogens and the assessment of disease risk.

  • Amoebae and Amoeboid Protists Form a Large and Diverse Assemblage of Eukaryotes Characterized by Various Types of Pseudopodia

Microbiol., 56(1), 2009 pp. 16–25 r 2009 The Author(s) Journal compilation r 2009 by the International Society of Protistologists DOI: 10.1111/j.1550-7408.2008.00379.x Untangling the Phylogeny of Amoeboid Protists1 JAN PAWLOWSKI and FABIEN BURKI Department of Zoology and Animal Biology, University of Geneva, Geneva, Switzerland ABSTRACT. The amoebae and amoeboid protists form a large and diverse assemblage of eukaryotes characterized by various types of pseudopodia. For convenience, the traditional morphology-based classification grouped them together in a macrotaxon named Sarcodina. Molecular phylogenies contributed to the dismantlement of this assemblage, placing the majority of sarcodinids into two new supergroups: Amoebozoa and Rhizaria. In this review, we describe the taxonomic composition of both supergroups and present their small subunit rDNA-based phylogeny. We comment on the advantages and weaknesses of these phylogenies and emphasize the necessity of taxon-rich multigene datasets to resolve phylogenetic relationships within Amoebozoa and Rhizaria. We show the importance of environmental sequencing as a way of increasing taxon sampling in these supergroups. Finally, we highlight the interest of Amoebozoa and Rhizaria for understanding eukaryotic evolution and suggest that resolving their phylogenies will be among the main challenges for future phylogenomic analyses.

  • Gymnophrys Cometa and Lecythium Sp. Are Core Cercozoa: Evolutionary Implications

Recent phylogenetic analyses based on different molecular markers have revealed the existence of the Cercozoa, a group of protists including such morphologically diverse taxa as the cercomonad flagellates, the euglyphid testate filose amoebae, the chloroplast- bearing chlorarachniophytes, and the plasmodiophorid plant pathogens. Molecular data also indicate a close relationship between Cercozoa and Foraminifera (Granuloreticulosea). Little is known, however, about the origin of both groups and their phylogenetic relationships. Here we present the complete small-subunit ribosomal RNA (SSU rRNA) sequence of Gymnophrys cometa, formerly included in the athalamid Granuloreticulosea, as well as that of the test-bearing filose amoeba Lecythium sp. Our study shows that the two organisms clearly belong to the Cercozoa, and indicates that Gymnophrys is not closely related to Foraminifera, supporting the view that Granuloreticulosea sensu lato do not form a natural assemblage. Phylogenetic analyses including most available SSU rRNA sequences from Cercozoa suggest that a rigid, external cell envelope appeared several times independently during the evolution of the group. Furthermore, our results bring additional evidence for the wide morphological variety among Cercozoa, which now also include protists bearing granular pseudopodia and exhibiting mitochondria with flattened cristae.
