Early phylogenetic studies refuted most previous assumptions concerning the evolution of
the morphological traits in the fruiting bodies of the order Trichiales and did not detect …

Cochliopodium is a very distinctive genus of discoid amoebae covered by a dorsal tectum of
carbohydrate microscales. Its phylogenetic position is unclear, since although sharing many …

Myxomycetes, or plasmodial slime molds, are a monophyletic group of amoeboid protists
whose classification is based mainly on morphological features of fruiting bodies. Although …

Coronamoeba villafranca gen. nov. sp. nov. is a small amoeba isolated from the surface
planktonic biotope in the Bay of Villefranche (Mediterranean Sea). It has a confusing set of …

The class Myxomycetes consists of free-living protists characterised by their complex life
cycle, which includes both microscopic (amoebae, flagellates and cists) and macroscopic …

Amoebae that make fruiting bodies consisting of a stalk and spores and classified as closely
related to the myxogastrids have classically been placed in the taxon Eumycetozoa …

Recent molecular phylogenetic studies have led to the erection of the phylum Amoebozoa,
uniting naked and testate lobose amoebae, the mycetozoan slime moulds and …

The Testaceafilosia includes amoebae with filopodia and with a proteinaceous, agglutinated
or siliceous test. To explore the deeper phylogeny of this group, we sequenced the small …

We present the results of an ultrastructural re-investigation of two amoebae strains that can
be identified morphologically as previously described species of the genus Pellita, as well …

The taxonomic position of the uniciliate, unicentriolar zooflagellate Phalansterium is
problematic; its distinctive ultrastructure with a pericentriolar microtubular cone placed it in …
