Phylogenomics and morphological reconstruction of Arcellinida testate amoebae highlight diversity of microbial eukaryotes in the Neoproterozoic
Life was microbial for the majority of Earth's history, but as very few microbial lineages leave
a fossil record, the Precambrian evolution of life remains shrouded in mystery. Shelled …
