Protists (eukaryotes, excluding animals, land plants, and fungi) comprise the bulk of the eukaryotic phylogenetic tree, making their diversity essential to understanding eukaryotic evolution.

Meteora sporadica is a small, unicellular eukaryote (protist) that was discovered in deep Mediterranean sea sediments in 2002. It differs from known protists by the presence of two lateral arms that ...

Researchers studied in detail the strange protist Meteora sporadica, which swings its two lateral arms back and forth. The results of the study indicated that M. sporadica has a complex cytoskeleton ...

Phylogenetic analysis of ciliate protists integrates molecular and morphological data to resolve the evolutionary relationships within the phylum Ciliophora. Traditional approaches relied on ...

Myxomycetes, commonly known as plasmodial slime moulds, represent a distinctive lineage of amoebozoan protists that cycle between unicellular amoeboid stages and conspicuous multicellular plasmodial ...

Tsukuba, Japan—Meteora sporadica is a small, unicellular eukaryote (protist) that was discovered in deep Mediterranean sea sediments in 2002. It differs from known protists by the presence of two ...
