“…are correct)? The serendipitous discovery of cryptic algal lineages with a close relationship to land plants would help (in effect, a discovery parallel to the recent identification of a close non‐photosynthetic sister group to red algae; Gawryluk et al., ). In the absence of such good luck, improved substitutional models may help, as would the discovery of rare genomic or morphological changes that unambiguously support one or another resolution of early land‐plant relationships.…”

“…A large number of extant microbial eukaryotes have never been examined using transcriptomic or genomic techniques, and some of them may hold the keys to resolving important unanswered questions in eukaryotic phylogeny and evolution. Thus, to reconstruct the evolutionary relationships among the major eukaryotic assemblages to a resolution that is both accurate and informative, the taxon sampling in phylogenomic analyses has been improved by targeting two classes of organisms: (i) Novel microbial eukaryotes that represent lineages that were previously unknown to science, and (ii) “orphan eukaryotes” that had been reported before, but whose evolutionary affiliations were unresolved by morphological examinations and/or single-gene phylogenies (Zhao et al 2012; Kamikawa et al 2014; Yabuki et al 2014; Burki et al 2016; Janouškovec et al 2017; Brown et al 2018; Lax et al 2018; Gawryluk et al 2019; Strassert et al 2019).…”

“…An analogous example is the recent finding of Rhodelphis; gene and intron rich, phagotrophic flagellates that contain a genome‐lacking primary plastid and form a sister group to red algae (Rhodophyta) within the Archaeplastida (Gawryluk et al. ). This novel heterotrophic lineage would not in any sensible taxonomic scheme be considered as heterotrophic Rhodophyta because they lack the major attributes of red algae, namely, highly reduced nuclear gene inventories with few introns, lack of phagotrophy, absence of flagella and basal bodies, and a phycobilisome‐containing photosynthetic organelle (Bhattacharya et al.…”
