[edit] Number of Species

This page should say how many species are in this phylum. --Savant13 20:31, 21 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Untitled

User:Guanaco's Category:Protista seemed apt. Why was it removed by User:UtherSRG I wonder? Wetman 20:04, 12 Aug 2004 (UTC)

At the time, there were general questions about how categories should work for taxa. I've replaced it. Josh

The image placement is ridiculous! It states "Amoeba proteus", but when you click on the image, the file is called "Chaos diffluens"! Two clearly different species, different genera even! There are plenty of real photos of amoeba proteus out there - a correct one should be used here. 150.203.2.85 22:14, 17 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Amoeba proteus = Chaos diffluens ?

Amoeba proteus and Chaos diffluens are synonyms?

"Many synonyms exist for Amoeba proteus. (Mast and Johnson, 1931). However, the only other name used today is Chaos diffluens, proposed by Schaeffer in 1926. Amoeba proteus can be distinguished from two similar species, Amoeba dubia and Amoeba discoides, by ...", [1]. 91.117.48.143 17:56, 4 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Taxobox colour change

Hello,

After much discussion, it has been agreed that colour changes for taxoboxes are necessary; it's currently proposed that amoebozoa taxoboxes should become #FFC8A0 and rhizaria, lavender. These changes would be carried out automatically, determined by regnum/phylum/etc entries in the taxobox. Your comments and opinions would be gratefully received here!

Thanks,

[edit] Fossil range

wrt. the taxobox, are there really fossils of precambrian amoebozoa? Or, indeed, any amoebozoa at all? I'd be very interested if so! Verisimilus T 11:07, 5 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Kingdom or not?

As far as I know, this is not a kingdom, but rather a group within protists. In fact, it seems that many new kingdoms of eukaryotes have been added, when before there were just animals, plants, fungi, and protists. What's happening? Is there some new taxonomic descision I should know about? 69.15.134.58 (talk) 16:43, 28 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] = "List of amoeboid protozoa pathogenic to humans" mistake

Naegleria is not an amoebozoan but an Excavata member. Excavata are not even closely related to amoebozoan since they are Bikonts (like plants and algae) while amoebozoa are unikonts (like fungi and animals). —Preceding unsigned comment added by 92.118.191.48 (talk) 14:56, 3 June 2008 (UTC)
