Suggested elaboration

Would it be appropriate to add "unicellular" to the description? The images look like a complex organism, and searching elsewhere doesn't easily answer the question of whether this is a multicellular organism. Peter (talk) 17:43, 18 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I think that is generally a good idea, as it is a common question readers want to answer. Finding a source may be difficult though. --Nessie (talk) 17:56, 18 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Added. The linked articles (especially Foissner) cover the organism's morphology pretty well, so there's no need to hunt up any new links. Deuterostome (Talk) 14:04, 22 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Paramastigidae redirecting to Spironematellidae

The list of families in the taxobox say there are 2 known families, but Paramastigidae redirects to Spironematellidae. How many known families are there actually? Alfa-ketosav (talk) 16:54, 15 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Telenomia

Are there sources that say hemimastigophora is related to telenomia? They should be included. Interested inTaxonomy (talk) 02:53, 30 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Nevermind i didnt see the source. Interested inTaxonomy (talk) 02:54, 30 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

(I suppose you mean Telonemia) In ref [5] ([1]): Interestingly, our analyses also recover some novel potential relationships that deserve further investigation. For example, a clade made up of the enigmatic “orphan taxa” Telonemia and Hemimastigophora (Hemimastix and Spironema) is recovered. Petr Karel (talk) 05:44, 30 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

M.sporadica is related to Hemimastigophora

So Meteora sporadica is closely related to Hemimastigophora, yep, it’s true! I had no idea that M.sporadica was so closely related to the Hemimastigophora s we should definitely do some changes in there taxonomy. Atlas Þə Biologist (talk) 00:41, 4 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Atlas Þə Biologist The taxonomy has not changed, no changes are necessary. The clade that both Hemimastigophora and Meteora belong to has not been named or diagnosed with any unique characteristic (yet). — Snoteleks (talk) 08:02, 4 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

According to recent research, "Meteora sporadica," a protist with a unique cell structure, is closely related to the group "Hemimastigophora," indicating a significant phylogenetic connection between the two organisms; essentially, they are considered to be evolutionary neighbors based on genetic analysis.

Key points about this relationship:

Unique morphology: "Meteora sporadica" has a distinctive cell architecture with "arms" that swing back and forth, while Hemimastigophora members have a different morphology with numerous flagella but lack such arms.
Phylogenomic evidence: Studies using genetic sequencing data strongly support the close relationship between "Meteora sporadica" and Hemimastigophora.
Importance for understanding early eukaryote evolution: This connection between "Meteora sporadica" and Hemimastigophora is considered important for understanding the diversity and evolutionary history of early eukaryotic organisms.

All and all meteora sporadica, a protist with incredible cell architecture, is related to hemimastigophora. Atlas Þə Biologist (talk) 22:25, 4 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
