The chastity of amoebae: re-evaluating evidence for sex in amoeboid organisms
Amoebae are generally assumed to be asexual. We argue that this view is a relict of early
classification schemes that lumped all amoebae together inside the 'lower'protozoa …

Salt-marsh testate amoebae as precise and widespread indicators of sea-level change
Salt-marsh sediments are routinely used to reconstruct sea-level changes over past
millennia. These reconstructions bridge an important gap between geological and …

Agglutinated tests in post-Sturtian cap carbonates of Namibia and Mongolia
Paleomagnetic data suggest that the early Cryogenian (Sturtian) glaciation extended to sea
level at low latitude. The impact of this dramatic environmental change on biota, and the …

Comprehensive phylogenetic reconstruction of amoebozoa based on concatenated analyses of SSU-rDNA and actin genes
Evolutionary relationships within Amoebozoa have been the subject of controversy for two
reasons: 1) paucity of morphological characters in traditional surveys and 2) haphazard …

SSU rRNA phylogeny of Arcellinida (Amoebozoa) reveals that the largest Arcellinid genus, Difflugia Leclerc 1815, is not monophyletic
The systematics of lobose testate amoebae (Arcellinida), a diverse group of shelled free-
living unicellular eukaryotes, is still mostly based on morphological criteria such as shell …

Biologically agglutinated eukaryotic microfossil from Cryogenian cap carbonates
Cryogenian cap carbonates that overlie Sturtian glacial deposits were formed during a post‐
glacial transgression. Here, we describe microfossils from the Kakontwe Formation of …

A contribution to the phylogeny of agglutinating Arcellinida (Amoebozoa) based on SSU rRNA gene sequences
Arcellinid testate amoebae include a wide variety of amoeboid organisms whose test (shell)
