Talk:Protoctista

Out of curiosity, what's the reason not to consider the Protoctista and Protista as the same group? Both are applied to the same set of organisms, both in current and historical use - for instance Protista has also been used to unite the Protozoa and Protophyta. Any references about how the groups developed will almost certainly be relevant to both. Most protozoology texts I've seen consider the two names to be totally interchangeable. Josh


 * Maybe you're right and this should just be a historical section in Protista. Gdr 15:30, 5 February 2006 (UTC)
