Choanozoa, super-class between Filozoa and Animalia missing from info box
editThe class Choanozoa, which would fall between Filozoa and Animalia is not mentioned in this article's info box in the classification section, but is mentioned in other parts of the article, as well as being named as a subclass in the Filozoa article. Is there a reason for this? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Gonb (talk • contribs) 02:28, 20 May 2024 (UTC)
- The taxobox gives a brief summary at some preset level of detail, naming just a few major clades like nested Russian dolls. There are nearly always more subdolls, as it were, invisible in between the visible ones. Chiswick Chap (talk) 03:12, 20 May 2024 (UTC)
- I've changed the parent taxon for animals to Choanozoa, but unranked. It's unusual for taxoboxes not to show the immediate parent. I assume the reason is that the Choanozoa introduced by Cavalier-Smith was paraphyletic. Now it has been recircumscribed for the clade containing animals and choanoflagellates, it seems appropriate to include it.
The Adl et al (2019) classification uses Choanomonada but this doesn't seem to be used widely[Correction: This is wrong. Choanomonada is their taxon for choanoflagelletes.]. — Jts1882 | talk 08:10, 20 May 2024 (UTC)- Good work! Many thanks. Chiswick Chap (talk) 08:17, 20 May 2024 (UTC)
- I've corrected my comment on Adl et al (2019).[1] They support the redefinition of Choanozoa as animals + choanoflgellates, attributing it to Brunet & King (2017)[2] It was also used by Tikhonenkov et al (2020)[3], which suggests the new usage has caught on. — Jts1882 | talk 09:33, 20 May 2024 (UTC)
