Other forms of protist motility

@Epipelagic thank you very much for starting this article!

Here's a few more forms of protist motility and sources that could be used to expand this article. I might get around to it eventually but if someone else wants to jump in please feel free to do so.

Jumping behavior of some planktonic ciliates (Halteria, Mesodinium, Strombidium), thought to aid escape from predators. (https://doi.org/10.1007/bf00165817, https://doi.org/10.1016/S0003-9365(79)80040-8, https://doi.org/10.1080/17451000600571044)
Toroidal swimming by an amoeboflagellate, Idionectes vortex: (https://doi.org/10.1038/s41564-019-0478-6)
Euglenoid motility, or metaboly (see Euglena)
Ectosymbionts that enable motility of their hosts, flagellates from termite guts (https://doi.org/10.1128%2FAEM.00750-07, https://doi.org/10.1007/3-540-28221-1_5)
Gravitaxis (geotaxis) in Loxodes and related ciliates (https://doi.org/10.1242/jeb.110.1.17, https://doi.org/10.1007/s003590050257)
