Major Points: - Most eukaryotes are "protists" - "Protists" are polyphyletic and a negatively defined group - Eukaryotes are broadly divided into "supergroups" (your textbook is out of date on eukaryote phylogeny) - But we will still look at some supergroups and learn what makes each a "group" - SAR: Stramenophiles, Alveolates, Rhizarians - Archiplastida: shared plastid origin - Excavata - Amoebozoa - Opisthokonta - Secondary endosymbiosis (and tertiary) ... What are the indicators and evidence - "Protists" are ecologically and medically important (what are some examples?)
