Context:   The majority of eukaryotes can be placed in one of two large clades dubbed Amorphea (similar in composition to the unikont hypothesis) and the Diphoda (formerly bikonts), which includes plants and most algal lineages.
Full context:   By the early 21st century, a rough consensus started to emerge from phylogenomic studies. The majority of eukaryotes can be placed in one of two large clades dubbed Amorphea (similar in composition to the unikont hypothesis) and the Diphoda (formerly bikonts), which includes plants and most algal lineages. A third major grouping, the Excavata, has been abandoned as a formal group as it was found to be paraphyletic. The proposed phylogeny below includes two groups of excavates (Discoba and Metamonada), and incorporates the 2021 proposal that picozoans are close relatives of rhodophytes. The Provora are a group of microbial predators discovered in 2022. TSAR is a possible clade that would contain Telonemia and the SAR supergroup.
