Deconstructing Difflugia: The tangled evolution of lobose testate amoebae shells (Amoebozoa: Arcellinida) illustrates the importance of convergent evolution in protist phylogeny

Protists, the micro-eukaryotes that are neither plants, animals nor fungi build up the greatest part of eukaryotic diversity on Earth. Yet, their evolutionary histories and patterns are still mostly ignored, and their complexity overlooked. Protists are often assumed to keep stable morphologies for...

Yet, their evolutionary histories and patterns are still mostly ignored, and their complexity overlooked. Protists are often assumed to keep stable morphologies for long periods of time (morphological stasis). In this work, we test this paradigm taking Arcellinida testate amoebae as a model. We build a taxon-rich phylogeny based on two mitochondrial (COI and NADH) and one nuclear (SSU) gene, and reconstruct morphological evolution among clades. In addition, we prove the existence of mitochondrial mRNA editing for the COI gene. The trees show a lack of conservatism of shell outlines within the main clades, as well as a widespread occurrence of morphological convergences between far-related taxa. Our results refute, therefore, a widespread morphological stasis, which may be an artefact resulting from low taxon coverage. As a corollary, we also revise the groups systematics, notably by emending the large and highly polyphyletic genus Difflugia. These results lead, amongst others, to the erection of a new infraorder Cylindrothecina, as well as two new genera Cylindrifflugia and GolemanskiaThis work was funded by the Spanish Government PGC2018- 094660-B-I00 /https://doi.org/10.13039/501100011033/ (MCIU/ AEI/FEDER,UE) and the program ‘Atracción de Talento Investigador’, grant awarded to EL by the Consejería de Educación, Juventud y Deporte, Comunidad de Madrid (Spain) (2017-T1/AMB-5210) /https://doi.org/10.13039/501100011033/ElsevierDepartamento de BiologíaFacultad de Ciencias20222022-06-28research articlehttp://purl.org/coar/resource_type/c_2df8fbb1VoRhttp://purl.org/coar/version/c_970fb48d4fbd8a85info:eu-repo/semantics/articleapplication/pdfhttp://hdl.handle.net/10486/714028https://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.ympev.2022.107557reponame:Biblos-e Archivo.
