Obazoa

Obazoa is a proposed sister clade of Amoebozoa (which together form Amorphea). The term Obazoa is based on the OBA acronym for Opisthokonta, Breviatea, and Apusomonadidae, the group's three constituent clades.^[1]

Obazoa Temporal range: Late Stenian - Present, 1010–0 Ma Pha. Proterozoic Archean Had.

Determining the placement of Breviatea and Apusomonadida and their properties is of interest for the development of the opisthokonts in which the main lineages of animals and fungi emerged.^[1] The relationships among opisthokonts, breviates and apusomonads are not conclusively resolved (as of 2018), though Breviatea is usually inferred to be the most basal of the three lineages.^{[2][3][4][5][6]}

The phylogeny of the Obazoa is shown in the cladogram.^[6][7][8][9]
