Unikonts or bikonta?
[edit]Taxobox says Apusozoa are Bikonta, cladogram says Aposomonada are are Obazoa and therefore unikonts. Now what's right? Please clarify. Kind regards --Ernsts (talk) 19:32, 16 August 2018 (UTC)
- @Ernsts:, it looks like the conflict of between the information in two templates, Template:Taxonomy/Apusozoa (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs) and Template:Stem group kingdoms (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs). The latter one seems to be mainly from the work of @Jmv2009: and has two citations (though I'm not sure which/either pertain to your question). JMV2009 also worked on the Taxonomy template, along with the semi-active @Bob the Wikipedian:, but has no citation. The Template:Eukaryota (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs) also has a lot of work from JMV2009 (and no citation). Perhaps one of those users has the answer. --Nessie (talk) 20:49, 16 August 2018 (UTC)
Fixed it; It's on the unikont side of things. Jmv2009 (talk) 02:00, 17 August 2018 (UTC)
- Sorry I didn't see this until it was resolved; is there a way to get a notification email when you get a ping? Bob the WikipediaN (talk • contribs) 20:17, 20 August 2018 (UTC)
Hemimastigophora (e.g. Hemimastix) "outside of all established eukaryote supergroups ... instead comprise an independent supra-kingdom-level lineage"

"Hemimastigophora is a novel supra-kingdom-level lineage of eukaryotes"
Gordon Lax, Yana Eglit, Laura Eme, Erin M. Bertrand, Andrew J. Roger & Alastair G. B. Simpson
Nature (2018)
"Here we report phylogenomic analyses based on high-coverage, cultivation-independent transcriptomics that place Hemimastigophora outside of all established eukaryote supergroups. They instead comprise an independent supra-kingdom-level lineage that most likely forms a sister clade to the ‘Diaphoretickes’ half of eukaryote diversity (that is, the ‘stramenopiles, alveolates and Rhizaria’ supergroup (Sar), Archaeplastida and Cryptista, as well as other major groups)."

"Rare microbes lead scientists to discover new branch on the tree of life"
CBC News · Posted: Nov 15, 2018
"Canadian researchers have discovered a new kind of organism that's so different from other living things that it doesn't fit into the plant kingdom, the animal kingdom, or any other kingdom used to classify known organisms.
Two species of the microscopic organisms, called hemimastigotes, were found in dirt collected on a whim during a hike in Nova Scotia by Dalhousie University graduate student Yana Eglit.
A genetic analysis shows they're more different from other organisms than animals and fungi (which are in different kingdoms) are from each other, representing a completely new part of the tree of life ..."
