In order to introduce protists to philosophers, we outline the diversity, classification, and evolutionary importance of these eukaryotic microorganisms. We argue that an evolutionary understanding of protists is crucial for understanding eukaryotes in general. More specifically, evolutionary protistology shows how the emphasis on understanding evolutionary phenomena through a phylogeny-based comparative approach constrains and underpins any more abstract account of why certain organismal…

Diversity and ecology of protists revealed by metabarcoding

Protistan Diversity in Environmental Molecular Surveys

This chapter presents an overview of the molecular approaches currently applied to gain knowledge on the diversity and function of protists in the environment, using fingerprinting tools to study diversity changes along spatial and temporal gradients.

Philosophy and the microbe: a balancing act

Sometime in the mid-2000s the invisibility of microbes began to change not just for philosophy of biology but philosophy of science too; one of the major reasons for this shift was the transformation wrought across several fields in microbiology by molecular data and methods.

The evolution of ERMIONE in mitochondrial biogenesis and lipid homeostasis: An evolutionary view from comparative cell biology.

Anoxic ecosystems and early eukaryotes.

It is proposed that at least some, and perhaps many, early eukaryotes were adapted to anoxic settings, and an outline a way to test this with the microfossil and redox-proxy record in Proterozoic shales.

Diversification of heterotrophic protists at the eve of Cambrian explosion

Evolution: Rooting the Eukaryotic Tree of Life

Meiosis gene inventory of four ciliates reveals the prevalence of a synaptonemal complex-independent crossover pathway.

Lower nonsynonymous to synonymous mutation rates of some of the meiosis genes suggest that, in contrast to most other nuclear genes analyzed so far, meiotic genes in ciliates are largely evolving at a slower rate than those genes in fungi and animals.

Cryptic Sex in Symbiodinium (Alveolata, Dinoflagellata) is Supported by an Inventory of Meiotic Genes

Symbiodinium encompasses a diverse clade of dinoflagellates that are ecologically important as symbionts of corals and other marine organisms and additional support for sex is provided by uncovering six meiosis‐specific and 25 meiosis-related genes in three published genomes.

The Diversity of Eukaryotes

This catalog includes all known major elements of the comprehensive evolutionary tree of protists and eukaryotes and introduces the concept of “extended in‐group” to refer to in‐groups and the most proximate sister group and to assist in identifying the hierarchical location of taxa.

This paper provides a brief summary of the rise and acceptance of protistology as a modern, realistic approach to the evolutionary relationships and classification of unicellular eukaryotic organisms…

The New Higher Level Classification of Eukaryotes with Emphasis on the Taxonomy of Protists

This revision of the classification of unicellular eukaryotes updates that of Levine et al. (1980) for the protozoa and expands it to include other protists, and proposes a scheme that is based on nameless ranked systematics.

Mitochondrial genome evolution and the origin of eukaryotes.

Defining more precisely the alpha-proteobacterial ancestry of the mitochondrial genome, and the contribution of the endosymbiotic event to the nuclear genome, will be essential for a full understanding of the origin and evolution of the eukaryotic cell as a whole.

The mitochondrial symbiosis now appears to predate all Archezoa and perhaps all presently known eukaryotes.

Investigation of the nuclear genomes of entamoebae, Microsporidia, parabasalids, and diplomonads suggests that these organisms likely descend from mitochondrion‐bearing ancestors, and most evidence suggests that the mitochondrial endosymbiosis took place prior to the divergence of all extant eukaryotes.

Homeodomain proteins belong to the ancestral molecular toolkit of eukaryotes

It is shown that HD‐containing transcription factors were already existing and diversified (in at least two main classes) in the last common eukaryote ancestor, and was lost in several lineages of unicellular parasites or intracellular symbionts.

Energetics and genetics across the prokaryote-eukaryote divide

The combination of massive bioenergetic expansion, release from genome-size constraints, and high mutation rate explained the unique origin of eukaryotes, the absence of true evolutionary intermediates, and the evolution of sex in eukaries but not prokaryotes.
