A Contribution to the Morphologic Variable Morphs and Diversity in Microthoracida.

The Journal of eukaryotic microbiology - 1 Jan 2026

Wu Fan, Zhao Xuetong, Jiang Yaohan, Chen Xiangrui

Abstract excerpt

The nassophorean ciliates are a key group for understanding morphological diversification, but their phylogenetic relationships remain elusive. Using morphological characteristics, molecular data, and phylogenetic analyses, we attempt to cast light on species relationships within the order Microthoracida Jankowski, 1967. The present multifaceted approach reveals that (1) Leptopharynx costatus costatus Mermod,...
