What are protists in the phylum Cercozoa?

OpenStudy (xmoses1):

This question best belongs in the Biology Section :) But someone who might be able to answer it is @SeaTurtle113 Good luck! :)

OpenStudy (seaturtle113):

The Cercozoa are a group of protists. They are sometimes described as a kingdom. They are sometimes grouped by whether they are "filose" or "reticulose"

simply use wikipedia http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cercozoa

OpenStudy (seaturtle113):

The exact composition and classification of the Cercozoa are still being worked out. A general scheme is: Class Chlorarachnea Class Proteomyxidea Class Sarcomonadea Class Imbricatea / Silicofilosea Class Thecofilosea Class Phaeodarea Class Ebridea

The beginning of this century brought spectacular changes in our understanding of eukaryote phylogeny, especially the early evolution of microeukaryotic lineages commonly called protists. Phylogenomic studies based on analysis of more than 200 genes produced a relatively well‐resolved tree of eukaryotes. Metagenetic studies using environmental deoxyribonucleic acid (eDNA) revealed an extraordinary diversity of protist lineages, highlighting their great ecological and evolutionary importance. A new higher level classification of eukaryotes combining the results of microscopic and various ‘omics’ studies has been proposed. In this classification, the majority of eukaryotes are placed in seven monophyletic supergroups: Amoebozoa, Opisthokonta, Archaeplastida, Alveolata, Stramenopiles, Rhizaria and Excavata. Phylogenetic relationships between these supergroups and 11 independent eukaryotic lineages are relatively well established. However, there is no consensus concerning the position of the root of eukaryotic tree. Further single‐cell microscopic and genomic studies are also necessary for exploring the extraordinary diversity of protistan phyla revealed by the eDNA surveys.
