Table of Contents:
- and Progress in the Last Half Century
- Glossary of Terms and Concepts Useful in Ciliate Systematics
- Characters and the Rationale Behind the New Classification
- Phylum CILIOPHORA - Conjugating, Ciliated Protists with Nuclear Dualism
- Subphylum 1. POSTCILIODESMATOPHORA: Class 1. KARYORELICTEA - The "Dawn" or Eociliates
- Subphylum 1. POSTCILIODESMATOPHORA: Class 2. HETEROTRICHEA - Once Close to the Top
- Subphylum 2. INTRAMACRONUCLEATA: Class 1. SPIROTRICHEA - Ubiquitous and Morphologically Complex
- Subphylum 2. INTRAMACRONUCLEATA: Class 2. ARMOPHOREA - Sapropelebionts that Once Were Heterotrichs
- Subphylum 2. INTRAMACRONUCLEATA: Class 3. LITOSTOMATEA - Simple Ciliates but Highly Derived
- Subphylum 2. INTRAMACRONUCLEATA: Class 4. PHYLLOPHARYNGEA - Diverse in Form, Related in Structure
- Subphylum 2. INTRAMACRONUCLEATA: Class 5. NASSOPHOREA - Diverse, Yet Still Possibly Pivotal
- Subphylum 2. INTRAMACRONUCLEATA: Class 6. COLPODEA - Somatically Conserved but Orally Diverse
- Subphylum 2. INTRAMACRONUCLEATA: Class 7. PROSTOMATEA - Once Considered Ancestral, Now Definitely Derived
- Subphylum 2. INTRAMACRONUCLEATA: Class 8. PLAGIOPYLEA - A True Riboclass of Uncommon Companions
- Subphylum 2. INTRAMACRONUCLEATA: Class 9. OLIGOHYMENOPHOREA - Once a Pivotal Group, Now a Terminal Radiation
- Deep Phylogeny, Gene Sequences, and Character State Evolution - Mapping the Course of Ciliate Evolution
- The Ciliate Taxa Including Families and Genera.
