Podiata
Proposed clade containing the Amorphea
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Podiates (Cavalier-Smith, 2012, excl. Ancyromonadida)[1] are a proposed clade containing the Amorphea (incl. Opisthokonta, Amoebozoa, apusomonads and breviates) and the organisms now assigned to the clade CRuMs.[2] Ancyromonadida does not appear to have emerged in this grouping.[3][4] Podiates possess pseudopodia (ancestrally filose and used for benthic feeding[1]), while the closely related ancyromonads and malawimonads do not.[5]
