    Apusomonadida

    Apusomonadida is a small group of free-living heterotrophic flagellates. Apusomonads are small (~5–20 μm long) gliding aerobes with two flagella. The dorsal cell membrane is underlain by a pellicle, which also...

    Euglenida

    Euglenids are a group of >1500 described species of single-celled flagellates with diverse modes of nutrition, including phagotrophy and photoautotrophy. The group also encompasses a clade of specialist “prima...

    Heterolobosea

    Heterolobosea is a group of ~150 described species of heterotrophs, almost all free living. Many are “amoeboflagellates” with a three-phase asexual life cycle, centered on trophic amoebae that can reversibly t...
