Publications
Early origin of foraminifera suggested by SSU rRNA gene sequencesJ Pawlowski
Département de Zoologie et Biologie Animale, Universite de Geneve, Switzerland
Mol Biol Evol 13:445-50. 1996..Foraminifera are clearly among the earliest eukaryotes with mitochondria, but because of the peculiar nature of their SSU genes we cannot be certain that they diverged first, as our data suggest...
Origin of the Mesozoa inferred from 18S rRNA gene sequencesJ Pawlowski
Département de Zoologie et Biologie Animale, Universite de Geneve, Switzerland
Mol Biol Evol 13:1128-32. 1996..Our data indicate probably separate origins of rhombozoids and orthonectids, suggesting that their placement in the same phylum needs to be revised...
Extreme differences in rates of molecular evolution of foraminifera revealed by comparison of ribosomal DNA sequences and the fossil recordJ Pawlowski
Département de Zoologie et Biologie Animale, Universite de Geneve, Switzerland
Mol Biol Evol 14:498-505. 1997..The use of the maximum-likelihood method and limitation of analyzed sites to the most conserved parts of the SSU rRNA molecule render molecular and paleontological data generally congruent...
Molecular evidence that Reticulomyxa filosa is a freshwater naked foraminiferJ Pawlowski
Department of Zoology and Animal Biology, University of Geneva, Chêne Bougeries, Switzerland
J Eukaryot Microbiol 46:612-7. 1999..and Ammonia sp. The analysis of both data sets clearly shows that R. filosa branches within the clade of foraminifera, suggesting that R. filosa is in fact a freshwater naked foraminiferan...
Molecular identification of algal endosymbionts in large miliolid Foraminifera: 2. DinofiagellatesJ Pawlowski
Department of Zoology and Animal Biology, University of Geneva, Switzerland
J Eukaryot Microbiol 48:368-73. 2001....
Molecular versus taxonomic rates of evolution in planktonic foraminiferaC de Vargas
Département de Zoologie et Biologie Animale, Universite de Geneve, Chêne Bougeries, CH 1224, Switzerland
Mol Phylogenet Evol 9:463-9. 1998..site/10(9) years. Assuming that the fast rates result from recent accelerations, the globorotaliids have basically much slower molecular evolutionary rates than the globigerinids, in opposition to the fossil data...
Molecular phylogeny of Mesometridae (Trematoda, Digenea) with its relation to morphological changes in parasitesO Jousson
Département de Zoologie et Biologie Animale, Universite de Geneve, Chêne Bougeries, Suisse
Parasite 5:365-9. 1998..It consists mainly in changes from elongated to subcircular forms, regression of the pharynx, and the development of a strong accessory attachment organ...
SSU rRNA-based phylogenetic position of the genera Amoeba and Chaos (Lobosea, Gymnamoebia): the origin of gymnamoebae revisitedI Bolivar
Department of Zoology and Animal Biology, University of Geneva, Switzerland
Mol Biol Evol 18:2306-14. 2001..This clade, however, is not statistically supported by SSU rRNA gene sequences and further analysis of protein sequence data will be necessary to test the monophyly of gymnamoebae...
Molecular evidence of cryptic speciation in planktonic foraminifers and their relation to oceanic provincesC de Vargas
Département de Zoologie et Biologie Animale, Universite de Geneve, 1224 Chêne Bougeries, Switzerland
Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A 96:2864-8. 1999....
Molecular identification of algal endosymbionts in large miliolid foraminifera: 1. ChlorophytesJ Pawlowski
Department of Zoology and Animal Biology, University of Geneva, Chene Bougeries Geneva, Switzerland
J Eukaryot Microbiol 48:362-7. 2001..Several foraminiferal species share the same symbiont type, but only one species, Archaias angulatus, was found to bear more than one type...
Bipolar gene flow in deep-sea benthic foraminiferaJ Pawlowski
Department of Zoology and Animal Biology, University of Geneva, Sciences III, 30, Quai Ernest Ansermet, CH 1211 Geneve 4, Switzerland
Mol Ecol 16:4089-96. 2007....
Mitochondrial genome of Savalia savaglia (Cnidaria, Hexacorallia) and early metazoan phylogenyF Sinniger
Department of Zoology and Animal Biology, Molecular Systematic Group, Science III, University of Geneva, 30 Quai Ernest Ansermet, 1211, Geneve 4, Switzerland
J Mol Evol 64:196-203. 2007..Our study suggests that mitochondrial genomes can be a source of potentially valuable information on the phylogeny of Hexacorallia and may provide new insights into the evolution of early metazoans...
Molecular identification of developmental stages in Opecoelidae (Digenea)O Jousson
Département de Zoologie et Biologie Animale, Universite de Geneve, Chêne Bougeries, Switzerland
Int J Parasitol 29:1853-8. 1999..This work also revealed that cercariae of the same species are able to infect more than one gastropod host species, suggesting that the specificity for the first intermediate host within the Digenea may be lower than previously thought...
Genetic relationships between desmothoracid heliozoa and gymnophryid amoebas as evidenced by comparison of the nucleotide sequences of 18S rRNA genesS I Nikolaev
Belozersky Institute of Physico-Chemical Biology, Moscow State University, Vorob'evy gory, Moscow, 119992 Russia
Dokl Biol Sci 393:553-6. 2003
