Taxacom: Protists

[Kenneth Kinman]

Hi Tony,

       I would prefer to regard Chromista as a Subkingdom.  Below are the four Subkingdoms that

could be recognized (and their Phyla).  I am still not sure where to place Phylum Hemimastigophora.

It could possibly be a distinct Subkingdom splitting off between Unikonta and Archaeplastida).


                                  KINGDOM PROTISTA
 Subkingdom Eozoa (excavates)
         Phyla Euglenozoa, Percolozoa, Metamonada, Loukozoa
 Subkingdom Unikonta/Amorphea (ancestral to Kingdoms Fungi and Animalia/Metazoa)
         Phyla Varisulca (incl. CRuMs?), Amoebozoa, Breviatea, Apusozoa, Choanozoa (opisthokont ancestors)
 Subkingdom Archaeplastida (ancestral to Kingdom Plantae/Metaphyta)
         Phyla Glaucophyta, Rhodophyta, Chlorophyta
 Subkingdom Chromista (Hacrobia + SAR clade + Telonemia)
         Phyla Cryptista, Haptista, Telonemia, Rhizaria, Heterokonta (stramenopiles), and 2 or more Alveolate phyla


________________________________

     NOTES:       Two Subkingdoms Archaeplastida + Chromista = Corticata/Bikonta (a.k.a. Diaphoretickes)
        Three Subkingdoms Unikonta + Archaeplastida + Chromista = Neozoa
        Ruggiero et al.'s Excavata excludes Euglenozoa (even though they are excavates), so I prefer their name Eozoa (ancestors of Neozoa).

Hi Alastair, Scott, all,

Scott has replicated this discussion in a place where it can be continued
as Wikispecies-specific, at

I have added
a new note at the end. Alastair or other interested parties, if you wish to
contribute further, that would be a good place to do it :)
