Dynamic Energy Budget Theory for Metabolic Organisation (2005, background): “Like that of mitochondria, this internalisation event possibly occurred only once in eukaryotic history [195, 259, 260, 767, 978, 1283], see Figure 10.”
Eukaryotic organisms in Proterozoic oceans (2006, background): “Insofar as flexible membranes and a functioning cytoskeleton are fundamental to the eukaryotic condition (Cavalier-Smith 2002b), it is not surprising that the earliest fossils recognizable as protists should reflect such features of cell biology.”
The revised classification of eukaryotes (2012, background): “THE REVISED EUKARYOTE CLASSIFICATION 493 494 INDEX FOR VOLUME 59/5 Genera with uncertain affi liation are listed alphabetically in Table 3 (p. 486) Abedinium 460 Abeoformawhisleri 438 Acanthamoeba 435 Acantharia 474 Acanthocorbis 438 Acanthocystidae 485 Acanthocystis 485 Acanthoeca 438 Acanthoecida ”
Biodiversity and Biocomplexity of the Protists and an Overview of Their Significant Roles in Maintenance of Our Biosphere (2002, methodology): “…reaches at least 213,000 species distributed among about three dozen phyla (see Table 2 of Corliss 2000a) belonging to the five eukaryotic kingdoms - the PROTOZOA, the CHROMISTA, the PLANTAE, the FUNGI, the ANIMALIA - recognized by Cavalier-Smith (1998a, 2002) and the author (Corliss 1998, 2000a).”
Early evolution of the Eukaryota (2015, background): “Given the limited resolution, there is also no realistic means of testing ‘big bang’ hypotheses for post-LECA diversification (e.g. Cavalier-Smith 2002, Koonin 2007; Eme et al. 2014).”
On the origins of cells: a hypothesis for the evolutionary transitions from abiotic geochemistry to chemoautotrophic prokaryotes, and from prokaryotes to nucleated cells. (2003, background): “My question was that, in a recent paper (Cavalier-Smith 2002), I mentioned a couple of gene splittings, which I think argue against the idea that eukaryotes came from within archaebacteria, and I wonder how you would refute that argument.”
Protist phylogeny and the high-level classification of Protozoa (2003, background): “…it is argued that their common ancestor probably had only a single centriole and cilium per kinetid (Cavalier-Smith 2002); this unikont state (Cavalier-Smith 2002) is found in most distinct amoebozoan clades – Phalansterium, mastigamoebids, Multicilia and protostelids (sensu CavalierSmith et…”
The New Higher Level Classification of Eukaryotes with Emphasis on the Taxonomy of Protists (2005, background): “RHIZARIA cont’d.”
Estimating the timing of early eukaryotic diversification with multigene molecular clocks (2011, methodology): “Such geological interpretations contrast with both molecular clock studies that place the origin of eukaryotes at 1250–850 Ma (4, 5), and a controversial hypothesis that rejects the eukaryotic interpretation of all older fossils and places eukaryogenesis at 850 Ma (6, 7).”
An overview of the phylogeny and diversity of eukaryotes (2008, background): “However, the near complete absence of these genes in Amoebozoa is disconcerting, and lateral transfer among eukaryotes and between eukaryotes and bacteria appears to be an on-going and not too infrequent process.”
