Assemblages of thecamoebians (testate amoebae) were studied in forty-six surface samples
of recent bottom sediments from five lakes in the Šumava Mts, Czech Republic. Altogether …

Testate amoebae play an important role in biomonitoring and the understanding of peatland
(palaeo) ecology. However, their application has been mainly limited to Sphagnum …

Little is known about the century‐scale response of water levels in inland estuaries to sea‐
level change and human modifications to estuarine morphology. This study explored the …

Testate amoebae are micro-organisms characterized by an agglutinated or autogenous
shell enclosing the cytoplasm. Testate amoebae have been widely proposed as valuable …

Studies on testate amoeba species distribution at small scales (ie, single peatland sites) are
rare and mostly focus on bogs or mineral-poor Sphagnum fens, leaving spatial patterns …

The species composition of testate amoebae in caves from European Russia and North-East
Italy was studied. Twenty-seven species were identified from various habitats inside caves …

We tested the response of lacustrine testate amoebae (thecamoebians) to climate and
environmental changes for the Lateglacial–Holocene transition. The palaeoenvironmental …

A group of 55 scientists from 20 countries met for a three days symposium on testate
amoebae in the French city of Monbeliard from the 14th to the 17th of September 2009. This …

Karst freshwater caves are subterranean habitats characterized by the constant absence of
light and relatively small variations of temperature and air humidity. They are mostly food …

The Kamchatka Peninsula in the far east of Russia is a substantial landmass that is poorly
documented in terms of most elements of biodiversity. Here we provide the first study of …
