Testate amoebae are important components of benthic communities in freshwater lakes,
where they play an essential role in decomposer food webs. They are used widely in …

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

Testate amoebae are widely used as proxies in palaeoecological reconstructions of

We investigated the response of lacustrine testate amoeba communities to 20th century
environmental changes in Lake Zhangdu, China. The lake and surrounding region have …

Abstract The middle Yangtze Reach is one of the most developed regions of China. As a
result, most lakes in this area have suffered from eutrophication and serious environmental …

Deep high-altitude mountain lakes can act as a natural laboratory, and have the potential to
contribute ecological data for understanding the way natural climate and anthropogenic …

Fossil shells of testate amoebae, commonly found in Quaternary sediments, provide another
key for the interpretation of the recent history of lakes. Outline drawings and details of shell …

Testate amoebae that inhabit peat are sensitive indicators of water table position. In this
study, we used testate amoebae in sediments from a mire in the western Alps (Lac du Thyl) …

Testate amoeba (TA) assemblages were collected in 2005 from four ponds in Komořany
(Prague, Czech Republic). An analysis of seasonal taxonomic variability of TA populations …

Arcellinida (lobose testate amoebae) preserve well in lake sediments and have shown great
potential as palaeolimnological indicators, but a limited understanding of their ecology …
