A much agreed-on theory on what causes evolutionary tradeoffs is that due to resource limitations (e.g. energy, habitat/space, time) the simultaneous optimization of two traits cannot be achieved ...
The largest and most-known species, the so-called "giant amoeba" (Chaos carolinensis), can reach lengths up to 5 mm, although most specimens fall between 1 and 3 mm. [3] [4] [5] Members of this genus closely resemble those of the genus Amoeba and share the same general morphology, producing numerous cylindrical pseudopods , each of which is ...
Pelomyxa is a genus of giant flagellar amoebae, usually 500–800 μm but occasionally up to 5 mm in length, found in anaerobic or microaerobic bottom sediments of stagnant freshwater ponds or slow-moving streams. [1] The genus was created by R. Greeff, in 1874, with Pelomyxa palustris as its type species. [2]

Another unique example of symbiosis occurs in the social amoeba Dictyostelium discoideum. D. discoideum and other social amoeba differ from free living Acanthamoeba in that instead of encysting, they undergo a social cycle where individual D. discoideum cells aggregate together in a food scarce environment.
