  Phaeodarea - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Phaeodarea are a group of amoeboid protozoa.
Phaeodarea produce hollow skeletons composed of amorphous silica and organic material, which rarely fossilize.
The endoplasm is divided by a cape with three openings, of which one gives rise to feeding pseudopods, and the others let through bundles of microtubules that support the axopods.

 Palaeos Eukarya: Rhizaria
Phaeodarea are not closely related to the other two taxa (see below), but Acantharea and Polycystinea form a monophyletic group (Nikolaev et al., 2004; Polet et al., 2004).
Phaeodarea were traditionally included in Radiolaria, and share with Acantharea and Polycystinea the traits of a glassy shell (formed of a combination of silica and organic material in Phaeodarea) and a capsule dividing the cytoplasm into inner and outer compartments.
Phaeodarea also bear a phaeodium, consisting of balls of darkly pigmented waste matter, usually near the astropylum.

The main class of radiolarians are the Polycystinea, which produce siliceous skeletons and include the majority of fossils.
The other traditional classes are the Phaeodarea, which also produce siliceous skeletons, and Acantharea, which produce skeletons of strontium sulfate.
However, the Phaeodarea are instead included among the Cercozoa.

Stephane Polet, Cedric Berney, Jose Fahrni, and Jan Pawlowski; Small-Subunit Ribosomal RNA Gene Sequences of Phaeodarea Challenge the Monophyly of Haeckel's Radiolaria.
Note : In his grand monograph of Radiolaria, Ernst Haeckel originally included Phaeodarea together with Acantharea and Polycystinea, all three taxa characterized by the presence of a central capsule and the possession of axopodia.
Cytological and ultrastructural studies, however, questioned the monophyly of Radiolaria, suggesting an independent evolutionary origin of the three taxa, and the first molecular data on Acantharea and Polycystinea brought controversial results.

 Station Information - Radiolaria
In some it contains many symbiotic zooxanthellae, or other algae, which provide much of the cell's energy.
There are two main groups of radiolaria, the Polycystinea and Phaeodarea.
Both produce siliceous skeletons, but those of the latter are rarely preserved, so most fossils are of the former.

 Phaeodarea   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14)
In his grand monography of Radiolaria, Ernst Haeckel originally placed Phaeodarea within the class Radiolaria, together with Acantharea and Polycystinea.
In order to test further the monophyly of all Haeckel's Radiolaria, and as no data on Phaeodarea was available, we sequenced the complete SSU rRNA gene of three Phaeodarea and three Polycystinea.
Our analyses show that the monophyletic Phaeodarea clearly branch among Cercozoa, and confirm that Acantharea and Polycystinea share a common history.
