  Tree of Rizharia
Rhizaria is a heterogeneous assemblage of protists, which includes the majority of filose and reticulose amoebae and most actinopods, plus two parasitic lineages and some flagellates.
The term Rhizaria was proposed by Cavalier-Smith (2002), and refers to the root-like filose and reticulose pseudopodia and/or axopodia characterizing the majority of the taxa included in it.
The existence of this supergroup is based exclusively on molecular evidence that accumulated since the demonstration of the close relationship between euglyphid amoebae and chlorarachniophytes (Bhattacharya et al.

 Rhizaria - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The different groups of Rhizaria are considered close relatives based mainly on genetic similarities, and have been regarded as an extension of the Cercozoa.
The name Rhizaria for the expanded group was introduced by Cavalier-Smith in 2002, who also included the centrohelids and Apusozoa.

So far, Rhizaria seems to be supported solely by molecular data – there are no morphological characters unique to the clade.
Most are biciliate amoeboflagellates, at least at some point in the life cycle – though many have dispensed with flagella altogether.
Nevertheless, the Rhizaria are supported by both rRNA and actin trees (Cavalier-Smith and Chao, 2003; Nikolaev et al.

The Cercozoans, the sole kingdom in the supergroup Rhizaria, comprise a group of taxa that emerged mainly through molecular analyses.
They are composed of taxa that may be biflagellate, but all seem to be able to make filopodia, some of which may be reticulate or with internal microtubular (sometimes mineralized) elements.
Cavalier-Smith (2002) named the collection of taxa the Rhizaria within which he defines the sister clades: Retaria (Foraminifera + Radiolaria) and the Cercozoa (the cercomonads+haplosporids+plasmodiophorids).

The clade Rhizaria of unicellular eukaryotes was named very recently (Cavalier-Smith, 2002), but has rapidly ingratiated itself as an industry standard.
Instead, Foraminifera group with Gromia, a marine amoeboid with smooth filopodia that produces an organic test like many basal Foraminifera (Longet et al.
The Rhizaria can be thought of as being composed of Radiolaria, Foraminifera, and Cercozoa.

 SIB - Projects - Vital-IT - Current Research Projects
To accelerate gene discovery and investigate evolution within the protist group Rhizaria, we are conducting expressed sequence tag (EST) projects on several rhizarian species.
One of the objectives of these EST projects is to create the first extensive high-throughput, genome-wide data set for a foraminifera.
These projects should provide enough data to establish the position of Rhizaria in eukaryotes phylogeny as well as helping to resolve the relations within Rhizaria.

I studied populations of vase-shaped microfossils (VSMs) preserved by the billions in carbonate nodules from the ~742-770 Ma Chuar Group, Grand Canyon, Arizona.
VSMs exhibit morphological and behavioral characters strikingly similar to those found in modern testate amoebae, including both arcellid amoebae (part of the Amoebozoa clade together with slime molds) and euglyphid amoebae (part of the Rhizaria clade, together with foraminiferans and radiolarians).
Together with a fossil red, green, and xanthophyte algae preserved in other Proterozoic rocks, VSMs tell us that crown-group eukaryotes had appeared and were diversifying by early Neoproterozoic time, before the onset of worldwide glaciation, and possibly coincident with a rise in atmospheric oxygen.
