Eukaryotes have evolved towards either an open mitosis with nuclear envelope disassembly or a closed mitosis with intranuclear spindle construction, and this divergence is likely driven by the need to support distinct multinucleated or uninucleated cellular states in Ichthyosporea.

We analyse cell division in ichthyosporeans and find that multinucleated life cycles favour the evolution of closed mitosis, in which the cell constructs a spindle within an intact nucleus.
