:: Example: The ciliate species [[Item:Q52|''Eufolliculina methanicola'']] was described and named in a scientific publication, but sequences from that study were published under a non-specific identifier "Folluculinidae sp." in the NCBI Taxonomy, that potentially represents sequences from multiple taxa. | :: Example: The ciliate species [[Item:Q52|''Eufolliculina methanicola'']] was described and named in a scientific publication, but sequences from that study were published under a non-specific identifier "Folluculinidae sp." in the NCBI Taxonomy, that potentially represents sequences from multiple taxa. | ||
