摘要:
Existing taxonomic schemes for the protists at the highest levels are confusing owing to insensitivity to evolutionary data, lack of stability, evolutionary misleading terminology and multiple, contradictory systems. We propose a system which circumvents these problems by recognizing the largest monophyletic groups possible, and creating a nomenclature for these by appending the suffix ‘protista’ onto an already recognizable prefix: for example, euglenoprotista, cilioprotista, chytridioprotista. This system provides a high degree of stability while also allowing for the further clustering of these groups and inclusion of their descendant groups, such as the plants, as more evolutionary data become availa
