Morphostasis in a novel eukaryote illuminates the evolutionary transition from phagotrophy to phototrophy: description of <it>Rapaza viridis </it>n. gen. et sp. (Euglenozoa, Euglenida)
<p>Abstract</p> <p>Background</p> <p>Morphostasis of traits in different species is necessary for reconstructing the evolutionary history of complex characters. Studies that place these species into a molecular phylogenetic context test hypotheses about the transitional...
