Abstract

This session summarizes current thinking concerned with classification of protists and outlines a scheme for their presumed phylogenetic relationships. It is presented in three sections 1) a descriptive summary of the papers presented, 2) a discussion of current ideas concerning phylogeny and 3) a dendrogram of phylogenetic relationships among eukaryotic organisms.
