    Fabien Burki
    Department of Zoology and Animal Biology, University of Geneva, Geneva, Switzerland
    Mol Biol Evol 23:1922-30. 2006
    ..This may be due to an acceleration of evolutionary rates in some bikont phyla or be related to their rapid diversification in the early evolution of eukaryotes...

    J Eukaryot Microbiol 56:16-25. 2009
    ..Finally, we highlight the interest of Amoebozoa and Rhizaria for understanding eukaryotic evolution and suggest that resolving their phylogenies will be among the main challenges for future phylogenomic analyses...

    Fabien Burki
    Department of Zoology and Animal Biology, University of Geneva, , Switzerland
    Protist 153:251-60. 2002
    ..Because the Cercozoa are related to the Foraminifera based on other molecular data, we propose that most protists possessing filopodia, reticulopodia and axopodia have a common origin...
