For 15 years, the eukaryote Tree of Life (eToL) has been divided into five to eight major
grou**s, known as 'supergroups'. However, the tree has been profoundly rearranged …

This revision of the classification of eukaryotes, which updates that of Adl et al.[J. Eukaryot.
Microbiol. 52 (2005) 399], retains an emphasis on the protists and incorporates changes …

Molecular evidence and an associated reevaluation of morphology have recently
considerably revised our views on relationships among the higher-level groups of amoebae …

Recent phylogenetic analyses position certain “orphan” protist lineages deep in the tree of
eukaryotic life, but their exact placements are poorly resolved. We conducted phylogenomic …

I discuss how different feeding modes and related cellular structures map onto the eukaryote
evolutionary tree. Centrally important for understanding eukaryotic cell diversity are …

The successful colonization of new habitats has played a fundamental role during the
evolution of life. Salinity is one of the strongest barriers for organisms to cross, which has …

Summary" Kingdom-level" branches are being added to the tree of eukaryotes at a rate
approaching one per year, with no signs of slowing down. 1, 2, 3, 4 Some are completely …

Multicellularity evolved multiple times in the history of life, with most reviewers agreeing that
it appeared at least 20 times in eukaryotes. However, a specific list of multicellular …

Most eukaryotic lineages belong to one of a few major groups. However, several protistan
lineages have not yet been robustly placed in any of these groups. Both the breviates and …

Eukaryotes evolved from prokaryotic predecessors in the early Proterozoic 1, 2 and radiated
from their already complex last common ancestor, 3 diversifying into several supergroups …
