Support for Membership and Supergroup Monophyly from “Amoebozoa”-Targeted Molecular Genealogies

, 2013
Membership: • indicates the member taxon falls within the supergroup Amoebozoa; ○ indicates that the member taxon is excluded from the Amoebozoa clade, or no clade is formed.

Morphological Description of Telaepolella tubasferens n. g., n. sp., Isolate ATCC© 50593™, a Filose Amoeba in the Gracilipodida, Amoebozoa [PDF]

, 2012
We describe the amoeboid isolate ATCC© 50593™ as a new taxon, Telaepolella tubasferens n. gen. n. sp. This multinucleated amoeba has filose pseudopods and is superficially similar to members of the vampyrellids (Rhizaria) such as Arachnula impatiens ...

High-altitude Amazonian eukaryotic shells (Arcellinida, Amoebozoa)

European Journal of Protistology
The microbial eukaryote diversity of the Amazonian rainforest remains mostly undescribed, particularly for higher-altitude sites located within indigenous lands that are characterized by very difficult access. We obtained a bryophyte sample during the Brazilian expedition to the Serra do Imeri in 2022, one of the highest elevations in the forest.

Phylogenomics of 'Discosea': A new molecular phylogenetic perspective on Amoebozoa with flat body forms [PDF]

The majority of amoeboid lineages with flattened body forms are placed under a taxonomic hypothetical class Discosea sensu Smirnov et al. (2011), which encompasses some of the most diverse morphs within Amoebozoa.

Amoebozoans Are Secretly but Ancestrally Sexual: Evidence for Sex Genes and Potential Novel Crossover Pathways in Diverse Groups of Amoebae [PDF]

, 2017
Sex is beneficial in eukaryotes as it can increase genetic diversity, reshuffle their genomes, and purge deleterious mutations. Yet, its evolution remains a mystery.

First records of nivicolous myxomycetes (Amoebozoa) from Kazakhstan

European Journal of Protistology
We present the first survey of nivicolous myxomycetes (plasmodial slime molds, Amoebozoa) conducted in Kazakhstan, specifically from the Ile-Alatau mountain range near Almaty. A total of 82 specimens were collected, and 16 species were identified using a comparative morphological approach.

Comprehensive comparative genomics reveals over 50 phyla of free living and pathogenic bacteria are associated with diverse members of the amoebozoa [PDF]

The Amoebozoa, a group containing predominantly amoeboid unicellular protists has been shown to play an important ecological role in controlling environmental bacteria.

Multi-color fluorescence live-cell imaging in Dictyostelium discoideum

Cell Structure and Function
The cellular slime mold Dictyostelium discoideum, a member of the Amoebozoa, has been extensively studied in cell and developmental biology. D. discoideum is unique in that they are genetically tractable, with a wealth of data accumulated over half a ...

Cell rupture in Arcellinida through the lens of evolution

Acta Protozoologica
The majority of predatory protists are size-limited. Arcellinida (Amoebozoa) exhibit the remarkable ability to prey upon larger rganisms.
