Radiolaria and phaeodaria
Polycystina (~400-800 living species and several thousand extinct forms) and Phaeodaria (~400-500 living species) are exclusively marine, open-ocean plank- tonic protists, most of which possess elaborate siliceous skeletons. The cytoplasm is divided into an internal part (endoplasm) separated from t...

Polycystina (~400-800 living species and several thousand extinct forms) and Phaeodaria (~400-500 living species) are exclusively marine, open-ocean plank- tonic protists, most of which possess elaborate siliceous skeletons. The cytoplasm is divided into an internal part (endoplasm) separated from the external, more vacuolated one (ectoplasm) by a perforated membrane - the central capsule. The Polycystina protrude long and slender cytoplasmic projections (axopodia) supported internally by a rigid central rod (axoneme); while the Phaeodria have a network of peripheral finely interconnected pseudopodia. A few Polycystina are colonial, but most, as well as all Phaeodaria, are solitary, around 40 pm to almost 2 mm in size. Most polycystine species peak in abundance between 0 and 100 m, whereas phaeodarians tend to live deeper, often below 300 m.
