Figure 1. Schematic phylogenetic tree of the eukaryotes.

Figure 1

The major taxonomic groupings are shown, and the overall topology corresponds to the most likely based on present data and analytical methods. Supergroups are indicated by bars, and orders are labelled at the various nodes. Colored blobs indicate the positions of specific taxa that are discussed in the article and specified in the key. LECA and FECA are the last and first eukaryotic common ancestors respectively.
