What does excavata mean?
- Excavata
- Excavata is a major supergroup of unicellular organisms belonging to the domain Eukaryota. Introduced by Thomas Cavalier-Smith in 2002 as a new phylogenetic category, it contains a variety of free-living and symbiotic forms, and also includes some important parasites of humans. Excavates were formerly considered to be included in the now obsolete Protista kingdom. They are classified based on their flagellar structures, and they are considered to be the most basal Flagellate lineage.The Discobaean excavata (Euglenozoa, Percolozoa, Tsukubea, Jakobea) now appear to be basal Eukaryotes, while the Metamonadaean and Malawimonaen excavata now appear to be sister clades of the Podiata. The Discoba may be highly paraphyletic.
