BERNEY, C., and PAWLOWSKI, J., Revised small subunit rRNA analysis provides further evidence that foraminifera are related to Cercozoa.—Journal of Molecular Evolution, v. 57, 2003, p. 1–8, 2 figures, 1 table.—". . . Our analyses reveal that Foraminifera branch together with the marine testate filosean Gromia oviformis as a sister group to Cercozoa, in agreement with actin phylogeny. Our study confirms the utility of SSU rDNA as a phylogenetic marker of megaevolutionary history. . ." (from Abstract).

BURKI, F., BERNEY, C., and PAWLOWSKI, J., Phylogenetic position of Gromia oviformis Dujardin inferred from nuclear-encoded small subunit ribosomal DNA.—Protist, v. 153, 2002, p. 251–260, 3 figures, 1 table.—". . . Contrary to traditional classification, Gromia is not closely related to other testate filose amoebae (the Euglyphida), but seems to branch early among the Cercozoa. Our analyses also show a close relationship between the Cercozoa and the Acantharea. Because the Cercozoa are related to the Foraminifera based on other molecular data, we propose that most protists possessing filopodia, reticulopodia and axopodia have a common origin."
