The evolutionary biology of protozoa is a field in which exciting
changes are taking place. Relationships between different groups of
protozoa are undergoing extensive review and the revised views will
have significant repercussions for future investigations. New data
from molecular and ultrastructural studies have changed our
perception of evolution among this diverse group of organisms in
recent years. This volume, part of the Systematics Association
Special Volume Series, aims to review this important area and give
an up-to-date synthesis of current understanding. The various
chapters are deliberately broad in scope and explore areas such as
the contribution of different techniques and approaches to the
understanding of protistan evolution and the biochemical and
physiological aspects of that evolution; there are also chapters
that analyse and explore specific protistan groups. In addition
some of the chapters discuss topics that are currently very
controversial within this field, such as the finding that the 18S
rRNA phylogenetic tree of protozoa is probably unreliable. The
world-renowned editors have assembled an international team of
outstanding scientists whose contributions have produced a volume
of interest to all evolutionary biologists and especially those
interested in protozoa.
