Organization of planktonic Tintinnina assemblages in the Atlantic Ocean [PDF]
Frontiers in Marine Science, 2023 Marine plankton have different biogeographical distribution patterns. However, it is not clear how the entire plankton assemblage is composed of these species with distinct biogeographical patterns.

Hyaline Tintinnina (Protozoa-Ciliophora-Oligotrichida) from northeast Brazilian coastal reefs
Boletim Do Instituto Oceanográfico, 1989 Seven species of hyaline Tintinnina were obtained from plankton samples collected near the coastal reefs of Ponta do Seixas (Lat. 7º09'16"S, Long.

Somatic infraciliature in tintinnid ciliates (Alveolata, Ciliophora, Spirotricha): An ultrastructural comparison. [PDF]
J Eukaryot Microbiol, 2022 Abstract A recent ultrastructural study on the tintinnid ciliate Schmidingerella meunieri displayed unique types of somatic kinetids. The dikinetids (paired basal bodies) have, besides kinetodesmal fibrils and transverse ribbons, some special features, that is, overlapping postciliary ribbons and three extraordinary microtubular ribbons, which together

Integrative taxonomy and molecular phylogeny of three poorly known tintinnine ciliates, with the establishment of a new genus (Protista; Ciliophora; Oligotrichea). [PDF]
BMC Ecol Evol, 2021 Background The taxonomic classification of the suborder Tintinnina Kofoid & Campbell, 1929, a species-rich group of planktonic ciliated protistans with a characteristic lorica, has long been ambiguous largely due to the lack of cytological and molecular ...

Annual variation of in situ sedimentation of planktonic Ciliophora cysts in a temperate bay [PDF]
Frontiers in Marine Science, 2023 Marine planktonic Ciliophora serve as a key component of the plankton food web. The formation of cysts is of common occurrence among planktonic Ciliophora, and encystment plays an important role in the persistence and diffusion of population.

Three redescriptions in Tintinnopsis (Protista: Ciliophora: Tintinnina) from coastal waters of China, with cytology and phylogenetic analyses based on ribosomal RNA genes. [PDF]
BMC Microbiol, 2020 Background The taxonomy of tintinnine ciliates is vastly unresolved because it has traditionally been based on the lorica (a secreted shell) and it has only recently incorporated cytological and molecular information.

Revisions to the Classification, Nomenclature, and Diversity of Eukaryotes. [PDF]
J Eukaryot Microbiol, 2019 Abstract This revision of the classification of eukaryotes follows that of Adl et al., 2012 [J. Euk. Microbiol. 59(5)] and retains an emphasis on protists. Changes since have improved the resolution of many nodes in phylogenetic analyses. For some clades even families are being clearly resolved.

Morphological variability, spatial distribution and abundance of Helicostomella species (Ciliophora: Tintinnina) in relation to environmental factors (Argentine shelf; 40-55°S) [PDF]
Scientia Marina, 2009 For the first time a taxonomic and ecological study of species belonging to Helicostomella was performed over a mesoscale spatial distribution by examining ca. 3000 loricae collected in Argentine shelf waters during the austral autumn.
