Taxonomy, Ontogenesis and Evolutionary Relationships of the Algae-Bearing Ciliate Bourlandella viridis (Kahl, 1932) comb. nov., With Establishment of a New Genus and New Family (Protista, Ciliophora, Hypotrichia)

Taxonomy, Ontogenesis and Evolutionary Relationships of the Algae-Bearing Ciliate Bourlandella viridis (Kahl, 1932) comb. nov., With Establishment of a New Genus and New Family (Protista, Ciliophora, Hypotrichia)

Hypotrichs are the most complex and highly differentiated ciliate lineages and have great potential for evolutionary novelties. Problems in hypotrich systematics are mainly due to discordance between the morphological and genetic data (mainly small subunit rRNA gene). Species with morphologies that...
