They were later found in chytridiomycete fungi that inhabit the rumen of cattle, as well as some ciliates, and they continue to be found in other groups. The enzymes of hydrogenosomes are not ...

and multicellular body plans (e.g., ciliates and stramenopiles). In general, early-divergent persistent (EDP) lineages are dominated by unicellular species (e.g., prasinophytes in the ...

That is, something happens to stop the growth of organisms, be they cells in the body, ciliates in ponds or lions in the savanna. That something else is usually referred to as intraspecific ...
