A multigene timescale and diversification dynamics of Ciliophora evolution
Molecular Phylogenetics and Evolution, 2019Ciliophora is one of the most diverse lineages of unicellular eukaryotes. Nevertheless, a robust timescale including all main lineages and employing properly identified ciliate fossils as primary calibrations is lacking. Here, we inferred a time-calibrated multigene phylogeny of Ciliophora evolution, and we used this timetree to investigate the rates ...

A checklist of ciliates (Ciliophora) inhabiting on cnidarians
Zootaxa, 2021A compilation of the ciliate epibiont species (Ciliophora) found on marine and fresh water cnidarians has been carried out based on published records. The checklist includes the taxonomic position of each species of epibiontic ciliate, the species of basibiont cnidarians, the geographic zones and the bibliographic references where they were recorded ...

A checklist of ciliate epibionts (Ciliophora) found on bryozoans
Zootaxa, 2020A compilation of the ciliate (Ciliophora) species found on marine and fresh water bryozoans as epibionts has been carried out based on published records. The checklist includes the taxonomic position of each species of epibiontic ciliate, the species of basibiont bryozoans, localities and the bibliographic references. Altogether 40 ciliate species from

Molecular Phylogeny of Tintinnid Ciliates (Tintinnida, Ciliophora)
Protist, 2012We investigated the phylogeny of tintinnids (Ciliophora, Tintinnida) with 62 new SSU-rDNA sequences from single cells of 32 marine and freshwater species in 20 genera, including the first SSU-rDNA sequences for Amphorides, Climacocylis, Codonaria, Cyttarocylis, Parundella, Petalotricha, Undella and Xystonella, and 23 ITS sequences of 17 species in 15 ...

Phylogeny and Biogeography of the “Australian” Trichostomes (Ciliophora: Litostomata)
Protist, 2004The phylogenetic relationships of members of the ciliate class Litostomatea were determined by a molecular phylogeny using the small subunit of the ribosomal RNA (ssu-rRNA) gene and a morphological phylogeny based on ultrastructural analyses of the group.

Feeding in the Ciliophora [PDF]
, 1984 Most of the preceding chapters have taken a rather generalized approach towards the process of feeding in protozoa, considering first the types of habitats and how these influence the food sources available in them. Then the endocytotic vacuole was presented as a dynamic unit of digestion, followed by a review of the metabolic pathways through which ...

European Journal of Protistology, 2010
The survival of ciliate resting cysts, in the presence and absence of soil, was studied under two environmental stresses: desiccation and freezing. Laboratory strains of the common species Colpoda inflata and the rare species Meseres corlissi were used in these experiments, which yielded the following results: 1) Freezing of cysts in soil with a ...

Insights into the systematics of the family Ophryoscolecidae (Ciliophora, Entodiniomorphida)
Journal of Eukaryotic Microbiology, 2022AbstractThe family Ophryoscolecidae currently comprises 225 species of trichostomatid ciliates, subdivided into three subfamilies (Entodiniinae, Diplodiniinae, and Ophryoscolecinae). The last taxonomic review of the family was performed 55 years ago, but recent morphological and molecular studies indicate the need for a profound review of the ...

Ciliates (Phylum: Ciliophora) [PDF]
, 1988 The capacity to control motility in fine gradations and to swim in complex patterns is a decided advantage for aquatic organisms, especially for those that invade intricate spaces in search of food or pursue motile prey. The ciliates possess a marked variety of motile systems based on ciliary motion.

A case-building Spirostomum (Ciliophora, Heterotrichida) with zoochlorellae
European Journal of Protistology, 2009A 1mm-long Spirostomum with symbiotic chlorellae has been found in the oxygen-depleted sediment of a shallow fen pond in the South of England (UK). The ciliate lives amongst sediment debris, where it builds a lorica that covers about half the length of the ciliate.
