TLDR
A revised six‐kingdom system of life is presented, down to the level of infraphylum, modified in the light of molecular phylogenetic evidence that Myxozoa are actually Animalia, not Protozoa, and that mesozoans are related to bilaterian animals.

The phagotrophic origin of eukaryotes and phylogenetic classification of Protozoa.
TLDR
It is argued that the essentially autogenous origins of most eukaryotic cell properties (phagotrophy, endomembrane system including peroxisomes, cytoskeleton, nucleus, mitosis and sex) partially overlapped and were synergistic with the symbiogenetic origin of mitochondria from an alpha-proteobacterium.

Principles of Protein and Lipid Targeting in Secondary Symbiogenesis: Euglenoid, Dinoflagellate, and Sporozoan Plastid Origins and the Eukaryote Family Tree 1 , 2
TLDR
It is argued that dinoflagellate and sporozoan plastids are directly related and that the common ancestor of dinof lagellates and Sporozoa was photosynthetic, and a novel theory for the function of periplastid vesicles in membrane biogenesis of chlorarachneans and chromists is proposed.

The neomuran origin of archaebacteria, the negibacterial root of the universal tree and bacterial megaclassification.
TLDR
The origin from a drastically altered actinobacterium of neomura, and the immediately subsequent simultaneous origins of archaebacteria and eukaryotes, are the most extreme and important cases of quantum evolution since cells began.

The highly reduced genome of an enslaved algal nucleus
TLDR
Complete sequences for all three nucleomorph chromosomes from the cryptomonad Guillardia theta are reported, offering a means for studying eukaryotic chromosome replication, segregation and evolution.

Phylogeny and classification of phylum Cercozoa (Protozoa).
TLDR
The protozoan phylum Cercozoa embraces numerous ancestrally biciliate zooflagellates, euglyphid and other filose testate amoebae, chlorarachnean algae, phytomyxean plant parasites, the animal-parasitic Ascetosporea, and Gromia.

Only six kingdoms of life
TLDR
Critical interpretation of environmental DNA sequences suggests that the overall picture of microbial biodiversity at phylum or division level is already rather good and comprehensive and that there are no uncharacterized kingdoms of life.
