| morphology and ontogenesis of psilotrichides hawaiiensis nov. gen., nov. spec. and molecular phylogeny of the psilotrichidae (ciliophora, hypotrichia). | the psilotrichidae are a family of middle-sized hypotrichs with unique morphological and ontogenetic features (e.g. the oral primordium develops in a deep pouch) that, however, did not provide a definite phylogenetic signal. thus, we studied the 18s rrna gene of urospinula succisa (müller 1786) esteban et al., 2001 as well as the morphology and ontogenesis of psilotrichides hawaiiensis, a new genus and species from an ephemeral swamp on oahu island, hawaii. the molecular data classify the psilot ... | 2015 | 24498929 |
