This study describes a new predatory flagellate species, Glissandra oviformis, and uses phylogenomic analysis to place it within the CRuMs clade, contributing to understanding character evolution in this group.

The paper reports mitochondrial genomes from three Ancyromonadida protists, revealing novel gene features and expanding the known mitochondrial gene repertoire of ancestral eukaryotes.

The paper describes two new mantamonad species and provides transcriptomic and genomic data for one, offering insights into the CRuMs supergroup's evolutionary history.
