Testate amoebae have proved a useful group of species to understand the biogeography of
larger microorganisms. The Arctic has attracted particular interest in such studies but there …

Forty different sites, represented by 1483 samples, ranging from Alaska eastwards to
Siberia, have been studied to assess the circumpolar testate amoebae species diversity. A …

Testate amoebae (rhizopods) from Russian tundra landscapes of the arctic mainland and
islands were studied. In a total of 274 samples analyzed, 215 species and subspecies were …

The Arctic is experiencing substantial warming with possibly large consequences for global
climate when its large soil carbon stocks are mobilized. Yet the functioning of permafrost …

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 …

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 …

The study of 22 aquatic and 36 terrestrial moss samples of the Strømness Bay (South
Georgia, sub-Antarctica) revealed 71 testate amoebae taxa (Protists) belonging to 21 …

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 …

Polygon tundra characterizes large areas of arctic lowlands. The micro-relief pattern within
polygons offers differentiated habitats for testate amoeba (testacean) communities. The …

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