The Majestic Landscape of the Eukaryotic Megasystematics

In December 2022, a team of authors prepared and published in the English version the monograph Nomenclature and rank correlation of higher taxa of eukaryotes, dedicated to a review of higher taxa of eukaryotes and solving the problem of their rank correlation. The introductory part of the work shows significant milestones in the history of eukaryotic megasystematics, whereas the methodological part discusses the principles and approaches to the nomenclature of the higher taxa of this domain. The authors carried out a revision of the system of eukaryotic organisms with references to the original descriptions of the corresponding taxa, considered the trends in the transformation of the system, and discussed issues of its practical application. The book contains descriptions of the subdomain Obimoda, the kingdom Crumalia, and the phyla Mantamonadea, Rigifilidea, and Collodictyonidea. The monograph crowned with a retrospective summary of the main eukaryotic systems published in the period 19252022 and an extensive list of papers on megasystematics and microbiology of eukaryotes. The present review is devoted to the evaluation of this theoretically and practically important work.
