Rigid and persistent shells of microeukaryotes are widely used as bioindicators in ecological
and paleontological studies. Drawing conclusions on ecological or evolutionary patterns …

Euglyphid testate amoebae are a highly conspicuous group of Cercozoa whose systematics
is based mainly on the shape and ultrastructure of the shell. However, only a couple of …

The genus Kraken represents a distinct lineage of filose amoebae within the Cercozoa.
Currently a single species, Kraken carinae, has been described. SSU rDNA phylogeny …

Abstract The genus Diaphoropodon, Archer 1869, comprises filose amoebae with

The protozoan phylum Cercozoa embraces numerous ancestrally biciliate zooflagellates,
euglyphid and other filose testate amoebae, chlorarachnean algae, phytomyxean plant …

Protists, the micro-eukaryotes that are neither plants, animals nor fungi build up the greatest

The term 'filose amoebae'describes a highly polyphyletic assemblage of protists whose
phylogenetic placement can be unpredictable based on gross morphology alone. We …

With the advent of molecular phylogenetic techniques the polyphyly of naked filose
amoebae has been proven. They are interspersed in several supergroups of eukaryotes and …

For over a century testate amoebae have been a favoured group of interest for
protistologists, however there is still an endless amount of unanswered questions. The …
