R. rickettsii falls into the largest group of them all, the SFG group. [21] R. rickettsii has a genome that consists of about 1.27 Mbp with ~1,350 predicted genes, which is smaller compared to most other bacteria. This small genome size allows the bacteria to maintain an intracellular lifestyle with increased pathogenicity from gene reduction.
SAR or Harosa is a highly diverse clade of eukaryotes, often considered a supergroup, [2] that includes stramenopiles (heterokonts), alveolates, and rhizarians. [3] [4] [5] It is a node-based taxon, including all descendants of the three groups' last common ancestor, [6] and comprises most of the now-rejected Chromalveolata. [2]
However, kin selection and group selection are not distinct processes, and the effects of multi-level selection are already accounted for in Hamilton's rule, rb>c, [39] provided that an expanded definition of r, not requiring Hamilton's original assumption of direct genealogical relatedness, is used, as proposed by E. O. Wilson himself. [40]
A supergroup, in evolutionary biology, is a large group of organisms that share one common ancestor and have important defining characteristics. It is an informal, mostly arbitrary rank in biological taxonomy that is often greater than phylum or kingdom, although some supergroups are also treated as phyla. [1]

In biology, taxonomic rank (which some authors prefer to call nomenclatural rank [1] because ranking is part of nomenclature rather than taxonomy proper, according to some definitions of these terms) is the relative or absolute level of a group of organisms (a taxon) in a hierarchy that reflects evolutionary relationships.
R-M343 (previously called Hg1 [citation needed] and Eu18 [citation needed]) is the most frequent Y-chromosome haplogroup in Europe. It is an offshoot of R-M173, characterised by the M343 marker. [25] An overwhelming majority of members of R-M343 are classified as R-P25 (defined by the P25 marker), the remainder as R-M343*.
Many commonly named groups – rodents and insects, for example – are clades because, in each case, the group consists of a common ancestor with all its descendant branches. Rodents, for example, are a branch of mammals that split off after the end of the period when the clade Dinosauria stopped being the dominant terrestrial vertebrates 66 ...
