Topography is one of the main factors, which regulate composition and functioning of
terrestrial ecosystems. However, the relationships between topography and soil protozoa …

In order to better understand the distribution patterns of terrestrial eukaryotic microbes and
the factors governing them, we studied the diversity partitioning of soil testate amoebae …

Understanding the interactions among the functional groups of living organisms within
ecosystems is a main challenge in ecology. This question is particularly important in relation …

This study focusses on the ecology of testate amoeba species in peatlands of the southern
taiga of Western Siberia. To estimate the influence of the trophic state of mires on species …

We studied testate amoebae and possible correlated abiotic factors in soils of 31 mature
forest ecosystems using an easily applicable and spatially explicit method. Simple counting …

Elevation gradients have been useful to study distributional patterns of soil organisms since
the time of Humboldt but only recently these patterns have been studied for soil …

An ecological study of the testate amoebae community in a sphagnum bog in the Middle
Volga region (Russia) during April-October 2004 revealed 63 taxa, belonging to 21 genera …

The species composition and community structure of soil-inhabiting testate amoebae
communities have been studied in biotopes of different types in the southern tundra and …

The microspatial (intraparcel) distribution of soil testate amoebae was studied in 12
heterogeneous oak forests and 7 pine forests of the Middle Volga region. Twenty-five …

Understanding the spatial and temporal variation in protist communities is essential for
comprehensive studies on diversity and biogeography, yet most research focuses on either …
