Talk:Chromalveolate
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The recent publication of the draft genome sequences of Phytophthora sojae and P. ramorum provides evidence that the oomycetes are decended from photosynthetic ancestors, and have lost chloroplasts they presumably once had. In light of this does this article need to be updated?

[edit] Chromalveolata colour
If Chromalveolate are ranked as a kingdom, the taxobox should have a different and specific colour. 83.45.216.23 18:01, 17 July 2007 (UTC)
- This seems unnecessary for such a small and unsettled group. Better perhaps to class them under the Protist heading until the debate dies down? Otherwise we'll need a plethora of colours for each time someone calls their clade a kingdom... As I understand it, it's arguable that this forms a kingdom; it's fact that they are protists.

- Actually, it is a large and settled group, and it has been decided on Wikiproject: Tree of Life to classify it as a kingdom, with it's own color. Please check this page before reverting changes made. Werothegreat 13:48, 7 August 2007 (UTC)
