Cryptic Diversity in Paramecium multimicronucleatum Revealed with a Polyphasic Approach

Maksim Melekhin et al.

Summary: Paramecium systematics is well studied, but molecular analyses have revealed higher species diversity with uncertain statuses of potential cryptic species. This study describes two new Paramecium species, one of which is a potential sister species and the other can only be distinguished by molecular methods. The number and structure of micronuclei are not reliable features for species identification. The geographic distribution does not show defined patterns, and future discoveries of new species can be predicted from molecular data, while morphological characteristics are unstable and overlapping in some species.

Morphology and SSU rRNA gene-based phylogeny of three peniculid ciliates (Ciliophora, Oligohymenophorea) from China, including a new Frontonia species

Tao Li et al.

Summary: A new freshwater peniculid species, Frontonia apoelegans sp. nov., and two other peniculid species were isolated from a wetland in northern China. Their morphology, infraciliature, and gene sequences were described and compared, providing evidence for the validity of the new species. Phylogenetic analyses revealed insights into the evolution of Frontonia species.

Biodiversity of freshwater ciliates (Protista, Ciliophora) in the Lake Weishan Wetland, China: the state of the art

Zhe Wang et al.

Summary: Ciliates play a critical role in the energy flow and material circulation within aquatic ecosystems. However, studies on the taxonomy and biodiversity of freshwater ciliates, particularly in Chinese wetlands, are limited. A project to investigate the freshwater ciliates of Lake Weishan Wetland in Shandong Province was initiated in 2019. The findings to date indicate a high morphological diversity of ciliates, with 187 species identified, including several that are potentially new to science. A comprehensive database including morphological data, gene sequences, microscope slide specimens, and a DNA bank has been established. This study provides valuable insights into the previously underestimated ciliate species diversity in Lake Weishan Wetland.

Further insights into the phylogeny of peniculid ciliates (Ciliophora, Oligohymenophorea) based on multigene data

Meng Sun et al.

Summary: The study reports 27 new sequences of Peniculids, including 18S rRNA, ITS1-5.8SITS2 rRNA, 28S rRNA, and cox1 genes. The findings show that subclass Peniculia and family Parameciidae are monophyletic, while the Urocentrida family ranks as a subclass within Peniculia, in agreement with previous classifications. Additionally, discrepancies regarding genus Frontonia were identified, leading to proposals for revised species diagnoses.

Phylogeny of Neobursaridium reshapes the systematics of Paramecium (Oligohymenophorea, Ciliophora)

Valentina Serra et al.

Summary: This study explores the phylogenetic relationships within the subclass Peniculia, focusing on the molecular characterization of a less studied ciliate, Neobursaridium gigas. Unexpectedly, the inclusion of N. gigas's molecular data did not clarify the evolutionary relationships inside Peniculia, but rather raised intriguing questions about Paramecium phylogeny, suggesting N. gigas may belong to the Paramecium genus.

The neotypification of Frontonia vernalis (Ehrenberg, 1833) Ehrenberg, 1838 and the description of Frontonia paravernalis sp. nov. trigger a critical revision of frontoniid systematics

Valentina Serra et al.

Summary: This study provides the neotypification of F. vernalis found in Italy, as well as a multidisciplinary description and neotype material. A new species, Frontonia paravernalis sp. nov., bearing Chlorella-like endosymbionts, was also described in Italy and Russia. A critical discussion on Frontonia taxonomy and phylogeny was presented based on 18S rDNA sequencing. With the neotypification of F. vernalis and F. leucas, a significant step in Frontonia systematics was achieved.

Genetic Diversity in Marine Planktonic Ciliates (Alveolata, Ciliophora) Suggests Distinct Geographical Patterns - Data From Chinese and European Coastal Waters

Maximilian H. Ganser et al.

Summary: Unraveling geographic distribution patterns of planktonic protists is achieved through the analysis of genetic diversity using a combination of phylogenetic and network analyses. The study on marine planktonic ciliate communities in Chinese and European coastal waters reveals geographically distinct clades within operational taxonomic units. Signature nucleotides emphasize the genetic differences between Chinese and European clades, indicating a higher genetic similarity within regions than between regions. This detailed analysis down to single nucleotide differences expands our understanding of geographical distribution patterns in marine planktonic ciliates.
