ScienceDaily (July 8, 2008) — When it comes to cellular communication networks, a primitive single-celled microbe that answers to the name of Monosiga brevicollis has a leg up on animals composed of billions of cells. It commands a signaling network more elaborate and diverse than found in any multicellular organism higher up on the evolutionary tree, researchers at the Salk Institute for Biological Studies have discovered.

The first sentence under 'Phylogenic relationship' has to be revised (is not grammatically correct). — Preceding unsigned comment added by 41.233.32.189 ( talk) 12:41, 5 March 2012 (UTC)
Richard Dawkins' book is cited to date the temporal range of Choanoflagellate. While I'm sure he may be an expert on the subject, a popular science book is hardly a peer-reviewed article. Does anyone have a better source? Who does Dawkins cite in his book? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 46.7.82.26 ( talk) 15:58, 20 December 2012 (UTC)
The temporal range of choanoflagellates has now been updated to use the Wegener-Parfrey et al. 2011 reference- this is based on molecular clocks as there is no fossil record for choanoflagellates. The Dawkins book should now be removed from this page. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 131.111.16.20 ( talk) 18:01, 22 March 2013 (UTC)
The section on silicon biomineralization mentions "nudiform" ("naked shape") and "tactiform" ("protected shape") varieties of choanoflagellates. I'm not clear on the differences. -DuncanIdaho06 — Preceding unsigned comment added by 174.52.204.128 ( talk) 17:57, 24 June 2013 (UTC)
Quote: The choanoflagellates are a group of free-living unicellular and colonial flagellate eukaryotes considered to be the closest living relatives of the animals. Should we not say: "... considered to be the closest living relatives to the common ancestor of all animals." During the cambriam explosion it looks like a flagellate is the origin of all animals, and dispute is ongoing on any link to the origin of fauna. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 195.240.45.231 ( talk) 18:43, 8 January 2017 (UTC)
