This study investigated the composition and occurrence of testate amoebae community in
the Curuá-Una Reservoir (State of Pará), as well as, described and illustrated some species …

Free-living amoebae are widespread in freshwater ecosystems. Although many studies
have investigated changes in their communities across space, the temporal variability and …

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 …

The distribution and ecology of protosteloid amoebae are still relatively unexplored,
especially in the paleotropics, despite their role in understanding the evolutionary lineage of …

Four samplings were carried out during the dry and rainy seasons in 2014, in two biotopes
(plankton and aquatic macrophytes) to assess the composition and species richness of …

Testate amoebae are amoeboid protists inhabiting a test (shell). They occur globally in soils,
wetlands and freshwater, especially peats and mosses. They are of ancient origin, dating …

This study evaluated the presence of Acanthamoeba species in the Puzih River watershed,
which features typical subtropical monsoon climate and is located just above the Tropic of …

Acanthamoebae spp. is considered highly adaptive. The present study aims to establish the
occurrence of free-living amoebae, particularly Acanthamoebae, to exist in extreme …

The following method works well with the majority of soil and litter samples, even though
most processes grossly underestimate the abundances of naked amoebae. Gymnamoebae …
