Oxymonads are closely related to the excavate taxon Trimastix.
Despite intensive study in recent years, large-scale eukaryote phylogeny remains poorly resolved. This is particularly problematic among the groups considered to be potential early branches. In many recent systematic schemes for early eukaryotic evolution, the amitochondriate protists oxymonads and Trimastix have figured prominently, having been suggested as members of many of the putative deep...
متن کاملCytoskeletal organization, phylogenetic affinities and systematics in the contentious taxon Excavata (Eukaryota).
An overview of the controversial proposal for the major eukaryote taxon "Excavata" is presented. Excavata is predicted to include at least ten distinct groups: jakobids, Malawimonas, Trimastix, Carpediemonas, retortamonads, diplomonads, Heterolobosea, oxymonads, parabasalids and Euglenozoa. These "excavates" have broadly similar flagellar apparatus organizations, for which a "universal" termino...
متن کاملHsp70 sequences indicate that choanoflagellates are closely related to animals
Over 130 years ago, James-Clark noted a remarkable structural similarity between the feeding cells of sponges (choanocytes) and a group of free-living protists, the choanoflagellates. Both cell types possess a single flagellum surrounded by a collar of fine tentacles. The similarity led to the hypothesis that sponges, and, by implication, other animals, evolved from choanoflagellate-like ancest...
متن کاملInference of the phylogenetic position of oxymonads based on nine genes: support for metamonada and excavata.
Circumscribing major eukaryote groups and resolving higher order relationships between them are among the most challenging tasks facing molecular evolutionists. Recently, evidence suggesting a new supergroup (the Excavata) comprising a wide array of flagellates has been collected. This group consists of diplomonads, retortamonads, Carpediemonas, heteroloboseans, Trimastix, jakobids, and Malawim...
متن کاملThe dissociative experiences taxon is related to fantasy proneness.
Some authors have argued that nonpathological dissociation should be distinguished from a taxon form of pathological dissociation, which is indexed by the Dissociative Experiences Scale Taxon (DES-T). We tested to what extent DES-T scores are independent from fantasy immersion and whether DES-T scores are uniquely related to trauma self-reports. To this end, subsamples of undergraduate students...
