Introduction
Amoebozoans are amoeboid protists which move using non-eruptive pseudopodia, that is, they move by cytoplasmic streaming forming finger-like lobopodia. They are common in aquatic and terrestrial habitats, and some occur as symbiotes in other organisms. Free-living forms may be naked or testate.
