Taxonomic position

[edit]

The lead closes with a statement of how this group was previously classified by taxonomists. It reads to me like it's missing a statement about how the group is currently classified. I'm assuming that molecular taxonomy has, by now, provided something more concrete on this point, but the only algal textbook on my bookshelf is a bit out-of-date on this point. Thanks in advance for anyone who can improve this situation! Cheers, PLUMBAGO 08:17, 16 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

(For clarity, I'm referring to the position of this group in wider taxonomy, i.e. its relationship with sibling protistan groups, not how its internal taxonomy is organised. PLUMBAGO 08:32, 16 October 2023 (UTC) )[reply]
I see what you mean. I added a phrase mentioning the wider taxonomy, let me know if it is better this way. —Snoteleks (Talk) 09:52, 16 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks! That's exactly the sort of thing that I was thinking of. I can see that there's still quite a bit of uncertainty in phylogenetic relationships, but this is very helpful. Cheers, PLUMBAGO 10:20, 16 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
