Diversity of 'simple'multicellular eukaryotes: 45 independent cases and six types of multicellularity
Ł Lamża - Biological Reviews, 2023 - Wiley Online Library
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 …

Evolution: divergent trajectories predate the origins of animals and fungi
Animals, fungi, and their closest protist relatives comprise the clade Opisthokonta. Although
they are comparatively closely related, animals and fungi have diverged greatly from one …
