Sunday Protist - assorted Foissner SEMs

By Psi Wavefunction on Monday, June 08, 2009
It's quite late and I'm lazy... have some Wilhelm Foissner instead:


I'm gonna guess them spiraling clockwise inward, starting from Bursaria (the big thing with the gaping oral cavity); take this with a big grain of salt:

Bursaria - Coleps - some other ciliate - testate amoebozoan (some relative of Difflugia?) - suctorian - amoebozoan (Arcella relative?) - some Tetraselmis-like thing? - another ciliate - filose amoeba - Didinium - Euplotes

Check out more of his SEMs if you can... his stuff is amazing!

    Are you telling me that those things are unicellular beings?
