Testate amoebae are a polyphyletic assemblage of unicellular eukaryotes with a specific
shell. They occur frequently in soil and freshwater habitats all over the world, important for …

Testate amoebae are widely used as proxies in paleoecological reconstructions of
lacustrine environments; however, our knowledge on their distribution along depth gradients …

Precise and sufficiently detailed morphological taxonomy is vital in biology, for example in
the accurate interpretation of ecological and palaeoecological datasets, especially in polar …

Testate amoebae (TA) are important components of soil ecosystems, where they play an
essential role in belowground food webs. In this study, we examined species composition …

As most ecosystems, peatlands have been heavily exploited for different human purposes.
For example, in Finland the majority is under forestry, agriculture or peat mining use …

Abstract Mountainous peatlands of Western Sudetes are considered a unique habitat in
Central Europe. The region contains one of the largest raised bog complexes in temperate …

We present a short note on the species composition of testate amoebae in a poor fen on
mineral soil near the Pacific Coast in the hilly area of Central Honshu, Japan. In total 45 …

Seventy-two taxa belonging to 23 genera of testate amoebae were recorded in 52 moss and
soil samples, collected from the Pirin Mountain (Southwestern Bulgaria). From the recorded …

Forty-two testate amoebae taxa were identified in alluvial soils of floodplain islands in the
Ilych River. Among the pedo-and eurybionts, there were aquatic rhizopods. Along the …

Testate amoebae represent a crucial component of soil microfauna and have been studied
extensively in ombrotrophic peatlands. However, little is known about their ecology in …
