Across the diversity of life, organisms have evolved different strategies to thrive in hypoxic
environments, and microbial eukaryotes (protists) are no exception. Protists that experience …

Echoing the repeated convergent evolution of flight and vision in large eukaryotes,
propulsive swimming motility has evolved independently in microbes in each of the three …

Amoebozoa is the eukaryotic supergroup sister to Obazoa, the lineage that contains the
animals and Fungi, as well as their protistan relatives, and the breviate and apusomonad …

Pelomyxa is a genus of anaerobic amoebae that live in consortia with multiple prokaryotic
endosymbionts. Although the symbionts represent a large fraction of the cellular biomass …

Amoeboid cell types are fundamental to animal biology and broadly distributed across
animal diversity, but their evolutionary origin is unclear. The closest living relatives of …

Amoebozoa is a key phylum for eukaryote phylogeny and evolutionary history, but its
phylogenetic validity has been questioned since included species are very diverse: amoebo …

Monophyly of protozoan phylum Amoebozoa, and subdivision into subphyla Conosa and
Lobosa each with different cytoskeletons, are well established. However early diversification …

Las parasitosis intestinales se encuentran ampliamente distribuidas en el mundo, con
mayor prevalencia en los países en desarrollo. Principalmente afectan a los niños, en los …

Arguments based on cell energetics favour the view that a mitochondrion capable of
oxidative phosphorylation was a prerequisite for the evolution of other features of the …

Lateral gene transfer (LGT) is an important mechanism of evolution for protists adapting to
oxygen-poor environments. Specifically, modifications of energy metabolism in anaerobic …
