Diaphoretickes

Clade of eukaryotes

Diaphoretickes (from Greek διαφορετικές (diaforetikés) 'diverse') is a major evolutionary lineage, or clade, of eukaryotic organisms spanning over 600,000 species. They comprise an enormous diversity of life forms, from single-celled protozoa to multicellular plants and numerous types of algae. The clade was discovered through phylogenetic analyses in the 21st century that revealed a close relationship between the supergroups Archaeplastida (or plants in a broad sense), Haptista, Cryptista, and SAR (Stramenopiles, Alveolata and Rhizaria).
