Taxonomy of Protista

Source: Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.
A modern non-hierarchical interpretation of the phylogeny of eukaryotes, including protists

A

chromalveolate, rhizarian and hacrobian groups) and Protozoa (containing excavates and all protists more closely related to animals and fungi).[2]

The following groups contain protists. The clade

Opisthokonta also contains the animals and the fungi, and the kingdom Archaeplastida
also contains algae and plants.

Key to symbols used:

(P) =
Paraphyletic
group.
† =
Extinct
group.
? = Group of uncertain taxonomic position.
* = Group lacking molecular data.
[ ] = Synonyms and alternative names.

Notes

  1. ^ The first eukaryotes were “neither plants, animals, nor fungi”, hence as defined, the Protista would include the earliest common ancestor of all eukaryotes.
  2. microorganisms such as bacteria
    .
  3. ^ a b This taxon belongs to the paraphyletic phylum Apusozoa Cavalier-Smith 1997 emend. 2013.[15]
  4. ^
    hypotheses: Teretosporea (Corallochytrium + Ichthyosporea) and Pluriformea (Corallochytrium + Syssomonas).[3] This article follows the latter hypothesis, because it is strongly supported by the most recent phylogenetic studies.[11]
  5. Choanoflagellata. However, these terms have not been formally described or adopted, and were rejected in favour of a renamed Choanozoa to fit the clade Metazoa+Choanoflagellata.[3]
  6. Microcoryciidae, is not clear. They are placed here by morphological characters but this needs to be supported by molecular data.[3]
  7. ^ The latest revision by Adl et al. (2019) ignores the grouping of some variosean genera into higher rank clades that was made in older studies because of the weakly supported SSU phylogenetic analyses, except for Fractovitellida, which is fully supported by phylogenomic analyses from 2017.[3]
  8. ^ a b c d e f g This order was initially divided into families, but phylogenetic analyses haven't supported the monophyly of each family. For this reason, in recent classifications there is no family rank division within it.[22][3]
  9. Dermamoebidae in a phylogenetic anaysis that uses a limited number of taxa.[30] In the recent taxonomy it is listed as a separate clade until its position is better resolved.[3]
  10. ^ This genus could be a synonym of Vannella.[3]
  11. ^ Both genera group together in some phylogenetic analyses, but usually appear separated. They are considered a potential branch of Discosea, unless proven otherwise in the future with better taxon sampling.[3]
  12. ^ Latest analyses show that Microheliella is the sister group to Cryptista.[12]
  13. ^ Telonemia is the sister group to the SAR clade.[9]
  14. Rhodophyta and Rhodelphis than to other groups, and are therefore considered part of Archaeplastida.[36]
  15. ^ Highly divergent 18S rRNA.[3]
  16. ^ This taxon is artificial; many of the families listed in it are not monophyletic and have little support from phylogenetic analyses.[3]
  17. ^ There is only one molecular sequence from this genus, which causes long branches in gene phylogenies, and the node is unresolved.[3]
  18. Polycystinea are Spumellaria, Nassellaria, Collodaria and Orodaria. Therefore, Entactinaria is considered an exclusively fossil group.[94]
  19. ^ May be the same genus as Belonocystis.[3]
  20. ^ It is not yet known whether this organism is an eukaryote or a prokaryote.[119]
