| Foraminiferal taxonomy is primarily based on the composition and morphology of the test. Unfortunately, "the division of the Foraminifera into subgroups is problematic; existing morphology-based schemes (e.g. Loeblich and Tappan 1988) are not fully consistent with molecular phylogenetic data ... Molecular analyses reveal that polythalamous tests evolved at least twice: in the lineage leading to a large radiation of agglutinated textulariids and calcareous rotaliids, and in the lineage leading to miliolids, characterized by microgranular, high-Mg calcitic walls" (after Pawlowski et al. 2003; from Adl et al. 2005 - p.418). |
