The new tree of eukaryotes
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 …

The evolution of calcium-based signalling in plants
The calcium-based intracellular signalling system is used ubiquitously to couple
extracellular stimuli to their characteristic intracellular responses. It is becoming clear from …

A molecular timescale for eukaryote evolution with implications for the origin of red algal-derived plastids
In modern oceans, eukaryotic phytoplankton is dominated by lineages with red algal-derived
plastids such as diatoms, dinoflagellates, and coccolithophores. Despite the ecological …

Synthesis of phylogeny and taxonomy into a comprehensive tree of life
Reconstructing the phylogenetic relationships that unite all lineages (the tree of life) is a
grand challenge. The paucity of homologous character data across disparately related …

Sex is a ubiquitous, ancient, and inherent attribute of eukaryotic life
D Speijer, J Lukeš, M Eliáš - Proceedings of the National …, 2015 - National Acad Sciences
Sexual reproduction and clonality in eukaryotes are mostly seen as exclusive, the latter
being rather exceptional. This view might be biased by focusing almost exclusively on …

Integrative modeling of gene and genome evolution roots the archaeal tree of life
A root for the archaeal tree is essential for reconstructing the metabolism and ecology of
early cells and for testing hypotheses that propose that the eukaryotic nuclear lineage …

Kingdom Chromista and its eight phyla: a new synthesis emphasising periplastid protein targeting, cytoskeletal and periplastid evolution, and ancient divergences
T Cavalier-Smith - Protoplasma, 2018 - Springer
In 1981 I established kingdom Chromista, distinguished from Plantae because of its more
complex chloroplast-associated membrane topology and rigid tubular multipartite ciliary …
