    Ciliates — Protists with complex morphologies and ambiguous early fossil record
    (Marine Micropaleontology, 2015) Dunthorn, Micah; Lipps, Jere H.; Dolan, John R.; Abboud-Abi Saab, Marie; Aescht, Erna; Bachy, Charles; Barría de Cao, María Sonia; Berger, Helmut; Bourland, William A.; Choi, Joong Ki; Clamp, John; Doherty, Mary; Gao, Feng; Gentekaki, Eleni; Gong, Jun; Hu, Xiaozhong; Huang, Jie; Kamiyama, Takashi; Johnson, Matthew D.; Kammerlander, Barbara; Kim, Sun Young; Kim, Young-Ok; la Terza, Antonietta; Laval-Peuto, Michèle; Lipscomb, Diana; Lobban, Christopher S.; Long, Hongan; Luporini, Pierangelo; Lynn, Denis H.; Macek, Miroslav; Mansergh, Robert I.; Martín Cereceda, María Mercedes; McManus, George G.; Montagnes, David J.S.; Ong'ondo, Geoffrey O.; Patterson, David J.; Pérez Uz, Blanca; Quintela Alonso, Pablo; Stoecker, Diane K.; Strüder-Kypke, Michaela C.; Trautmann, Isabelle; Utz, Laura R.P.; Vallesi, Adriana; Vd'ačný, Peter; Warren, Alan; Weisse, Thomas; Wickham, Stephen A.; Yi, Zhenzhen; Zhang, Wuchang; Zhan, Zifeng; Zufall, Rebecca; Agatha, Sabine
    Since ciliates rarely possess structures that easily fossilize, we are limited in our ability to use paleontological studies to reconstruct the early evolution of this large and ecologically important clade of protists. Tintinnids, a group of loricate (house-forming) planktonic ciliates, are the only group that has a significant fossil record. Putative tintinnid fossils from rocks older than Jurassic, however, possess few to no characters that can be found in extant ciliates; these fossils are best described as ‘incertae sedis eukaryotes’. Here, we review the Devonian fossil Nassacysta reticulata and propose that it is likewise another incertae sedis eukaryote due to the lack of any unambiguous ciliate characters. Future tintinnid fossil descriptions would be most helpful if: (i) neutral terminology is used in the descriptions but ciliate-specific terminology in the interpretations; (ii) the current ciliate classification is used, although fossil data may expand or modify classifications based on modern forms; (iii) close collaboration with specialists studying extant ciliates is done; and (iv) editors include an expert of extant ciliates in the review process.

    Beyond the “Code”: A Guide to the Description and Documentation of Biodiversity in Ciliated Protists (Alveolata, Ciliophora)

    Recent advances in molecular technology have revolutionized research on all aspects of the biology of organisms, including ciliates, and created unprecedented opportunities for pursuing a more integrative approach to investigations of biodiversity. However, this goal is complicated by large gaps and inconsistencies that still exist in the foundation of basic information about biodiversity of ciliates. The present paper reviews issues relating to the taxonomy of ciliates and presents specific recommendations for best practice in the observation and documentation of their biodiversity. This effort stems from a workshop that explored ways to implement six Grand Challenges proposed by the International Research Coordination Network for Biodiversity of Ciliates (IRCN-BC). As part of its commitment to strengthening the knowledge base that supports research on biodiversity of ciliates, the IRCN-BC proposes to populate The Ciliate Guide, an online database, with biodiversity-related data and metadata to create a resource that will facilitate accurate taxonomic identifications and promote sharing of data.
