Redescription of Lagenophrys cochinensis Santhakumari & Gopalan, 1980 (Ciliophora, Peritrichia, Lagenophryidae), an Ectosymbiont of Marine Isopods, including new information on morphology, geographic distribution, and intraspecific variationJohn C Clamp
Department of Biology, North Carolina Central University, Durham, North Carolina 27707, USA
J Eukaryot Microbiol 53:58-64. 2006..The species has a cosmopolitan distribution, probably owing to the ease with which its hosts are transported from one estuary to another in drifting wood or on hulls of ships...
A molecular phylogenetic investigation of zoothamnium (ciliophora, peritrichia, sessilida)John C Clamp
Department of Biology, North Carolina Central University, Durham, North Carolina 27707, USA
J Eukaryot Microbiol 53:494-8. 2006....
A molecular phylogenetic investigation of Opisthonecta and related genera (Ciliophora, Peritrichia, Sessilida)Daniel Williams
Department of Biology, North Carolina Central University, Durham, North Carolina 27707, USA
J Eukaryot Microbiol 54:317-23. 2007..Epistylis galea, Campanella umbellaria, and Opercularia microdiscum are confirmed as comprising an extremely distinct, monophyletic, but morphologically heterogeneous clade that is basal to other clades of sessiline peritrichs...
Redescription of Lagenophrys maxillaris (Jankowski, 1993) (Ciliophora, Peritrichia, Lagenophryidae), an Ectosymbiont of Marine AmphipodsJohn C Clamp
Department of Biology, North Carolina Central University, Durham, North Carolina 27707, USA
J Eukaryot Microbiol 52:38-43. 2005..oceanicus although three other closely related species of Gammarus are available as hosts. Host specificity is possibly the result of trophic differences, possibly related to depth of habitat, between the two hosts and their congeners...
Molecular phylogeny of the family Vorticellidae (Ciliophora, Peritrichia) using combined datasets with a special emphasis on the three morphologically similar genera Carchesium, Epicarchesium and ApocarchesiumPing Sun
Department of Biology, North Carolina Central University, Durham, NC 27707, USA
Int J Syst Evol Microbiol 61:1001-10. 2011..The phylogenetic trees reconstructed with combined datasets were more robust and therefore more reliable than those based on single datasets and supported the results of trees based on SSU rRNA sequences...
Molecular and morphological characterization of a poorly known marine ciliate, Myoschiston duplicatum precht 1935: implications for phylogenetic relationships between three morphologically similar genera -- Zoothamnium, Myoschiston, and Zoothamnopsis (CilPing Sun
Department of Biological Science, University of Ulsan, 93 Daehak ro, Ulsan 680 749, Korea
J Eukaryot Microbiol 59:163-70. 2012..8S-ITS2) and combined datasets (SSU rDNA + ITS1-5.8S-ITS2) to explore further the phylogenetic relationship in the family Zoothamniidae between the three morphologically similar genera-Zoothamnium, Myoschiston, and Zoothamnopsis...
Analysis of the secondary structure of ITS transcripts in peritrich ciliates (Ciliophora, Oligohymenophorea): implications for structural evolution and phylogenetic reconstructionPing Sun
Department of Biology, North Carolina Central University, Durham, NC 27707, USA
Mol Phylogenet Evol 56:242-51. 2010..This study validated for the first time a secondary structure of ITS1 and ITS2 from peritrich ciliates and demonstrated its potential in helping to resolve deep phylogenetic relationships...
