Cavalier-Smith a publié de nombreux ouvrages sur la classification. Une de ses principales contributions à la biologie est sa proposition d'un sixième règne du vivant : les Chromista, bien que l'utilité du groupement soit encore sujette à débat.
Cavalier-Smith's first major classification system was the division of all organisms into eight kingdoms. In 1981, he proposed that by completely revising Robert Whittaker's Five Kingdom system, there could be eight kingdoms: Bacteria, Eufungi, Ciliofungi, Animalia, Biliphyta, Viridiplantae, Cryptophyta, and Euglenozoa.

There are several models of the Branching order of bacterial phyla, one of these was proposed in 2002 and 2004 by Thomas Cavalier-Smith. [1] [2] In this frame of work, the branching order of the major lineage of bacteria are determined based on some morphological characters, such as cell wall structure, and not based on the molecular evidence ...
Aug 23, 2021 · He tackled topics ranging from the origins of the first cell and the evolution of genome and cell architectures to the origins, phylogeny, and classification of all major lineages in the tree of life.
His research has led to discovery of a number of unicellular organisms and advocated for a variety of major taxonomic groups, such as the Chromista, Chromalveolata, Opisthokonta, Rhizaria, and Excavata. He was known for his systems of classification of all organisms.
