Eukaryotic diversity is often depicted as a molecular phylogenetic tree consisting of a few supergroups that originated over a billion years ago. A new study reveals an ancient group of tiny phagotrophic flagellates that reinforces inferences about early evolutionary history.
真核生物的多样性通常被描绘为一棵分子系统发育树,由大约十亿年前起源的几个超群组成。一项新研究揭示了一组古老的微小吞噬性鞭毛虫,这加强了关于早期进化历史的推断。
