Molecular data have considerably contributed to building the taxonomy of protists. Recently,
the systematics of Hyalospheniidae (Amoebozoa; Tubulinea; Arcellinida) has been widely …

We used Cytochrome Oxidase Subunit 1 (COI) to assess the phylogenetic relationships and
taxonomy of Nebela sensu stricto and similar taxa (Nebela group, Arcellinida) in order to …

To date only five partial and two complete SSU rRNA gene sequences are available for the
lobose testate amoebae (Arcellinida). Consequently, the phylogenetic relationships among …

Species identification by means of morphology is often problematic in protists. Nebela tincta–
collaris–bohemica (Arcellinida) is a species complex of small to medium-sized (ca. 100μm) …

The systematics of lobose testate amoebae (Arcellinida), a diverse group of shelled free-
living unicellular eukaryotes, is still mostly based on morphological criteria such as shell …

Arcellinid testate amoebae include a wide variety of amoeboid organisms whose test (shell)
varies in shape, composition and size. A decade ago, we initiated molecular phylogenetic …

Spumochlamys perforata n. sp. and Spumochlamys bryora n. sp. were isolated and
described from dry epiphytic moss. The morphology and ultrastructure of both species …

Abstract Quadrulella (Amoebozoa, Arcellinida, Hyalospheniidae) is a genus of testate
amoebae with unmistakable morphology, which secretes characteristic square plates to …

We describe here a new species of sphagnicolous testate amoeba found abundantly in the
forested part of the Le Cachot peatland (Jura Mountains, Neuchâtel, Switzerland) based on …

Testate (shelled) amoebae are abundant and diverse in Sphagnum-rich areas of bogs and
fens. Test morphology is standardly used to identify morphospecies as tests have varying …
