Nature's misfits: Reclassifying protists helps answer how many species remain undiscovered

Nature's misfits: Reclassifying protists helps answer how many species remain undiscovered: Since the Victorian era, categorizing the natural world has challenged scientists. No group has presented a challenge as tricky as the protists, the tiny, complex life forms that are neither plants nor animals. A new reclassification of eukaryotic life forms draws together the latest research to clarify the current state of protist diversity and categorization, as well as the many species that remain to be discovered.
