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

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 …

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 …

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 …

Testate amoebae are an abundant and functionally important group of protists in peatlands,
but little is known about the seasonal patterns of their communities. We investigated the …

Testate amoebae are valued for their functional significance and application as indicators of
environmental conditions, particularly in peatland ecosystems. Research on testate …

Altitudinal gradients are useful to study the potential effects of climate change on
ecosystems. Historically, studies on elevation gradients have primarily focused on macro …

Testate amoebae are a group of moisture-sensitive, shell-producing protozoa that have
been widely used as indicators of changes in mean water-table depth within oligotrophic …

Testate amoebae are an abundant group of microorganisms which make a significant
contribution to the diversity of protist life. Most of the world's potential habitats for testate …
