Comparison of phylogenetic trees of based on six concatenated protein sequences (A) (Schilde, et al., 2019) or small subunit ribosomal DNA (B). Fast evolution of SSU rDNA in the group 1 Cavenderia distorts the position of the root, while slow SSU rDNA evolution in group 4 Dictyostelia prevents resolution of species positions. Taxon names in (B) follow the recent re-classification of Dictyostelids (Sheikh, et al., 2018).
