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 …

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

The traditional classification of the Myxomycetes (Myxogastrea) into five orders
(Echinosteliales, Liceales, Trichiales, Stemonitidales and Physarales), used in all …

With the simultaneous growth in interest from the mycological community to discover fungal
species and classify them, there is also an important need to assemble all taxonomic …

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

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 …

Mycetozoa, characterized by spore-bearing fruiting bodies, are the most diverse
Amoebozoa. They traditionally comprise three taxa: Myxogastria, Dictyostelia and …

The Myxomycetes are a major component of soil amoebae, displaying a complex life cycle
that terminates in the formation of often macroscopic fruiting bodies. The classification of …

Abstract Background The social amoebae (Dictyostelia) are a diverse group of Amoebozoa
that achieve multicellularity by aggregation and undergo morphogenesis into fruiting bodies …
