Phylogenetic relationships among canonical, long‐branching (LB) Microsporidia, metchnikovellids, Rozellida, and a diversity of related short‐branching lineages. LB‐Microsporidia form a clade with a diversity of short‐branching lineages (SB‐Microsporidia) that share key cell biological characters defining the microsporidian clade. Lineages that have been labelled in other studies are labelled: GS xx from Tedersoo et al. (2017), Laz x from Lazarus and James (2015); others as marked. The extent of the expanded Microsporidia is shown by the bracket on the far right. The tree was inferred under the CAT+GTR model in PhyloBayes‐MPI, on a final alignment of 1729 sites from the SSU rRNA gene. Black blobs indicate support values of > 0.96 BPP and > 95% ML bootstrap (actual values also shown). Branch lengths are proportional to the expected number of substitutions per site, as denoted by the scale bar.
