Telonemia is a poorly known major phylum of flagellated eukaryotes with unique combination morphological traits. Phylogenomics recently revealed the phylogenetic position telonemids as sister to SAR, one largest groups eukaryotes, comprising Stramenopiles, Alveolata and Rhizaria. Due this key evolutionary position, investigations are critical importance for elucidating origin diversification an astounding diversity eukaryotic forms life strategies. To date, however, only two species have...
The recently discovered Provora supergroup has primarily been examined to determine their phylogenomic position in the eukaryotic tree. Their morphology is more poorly studied, and here we focus on cellular organization how it compares with that of other supergroups. These small eukaryovorous flagellates exhibit several ultrastructural features are also found a subset taxa from wide variety deep-branching lineages (Stramenopiles, Alveolata, Hemimastigophora, Malawimonadidae, Discoba...
