We studied testate amoebae (testates) in the soils of coniferous and deciduous forests and
in the wetland and aquatic habitats of Mexico. In 141 samples we found 205 taxa identified …

Morphological features are often the only characteristics suitable for identification of taxa in
testate amoebae, especially in ecological and palaeoecological studies. However, whereas …

We investigated the species composition of testate amoebae at three altitudes (1000, 2000
and 3000m) and two horizons (L and F/H/Ah) of a tropical mountain rain forest in southern …

Background Testate amoebae are a polyphyletic group of protists living preferentially in
soils, freshwaters and wetlands. These Protozoa have a worldwide distribution, but their …

Arcellinida are free-living lobose amoebae that produce an outer shell (test). Here, we
describe a conspicuous new species, Arcella gandalfi sp. nov, from Brazilian continental …

Aim The question whether free‐living protists are generally cosmopolitan is currently a
matter of debate. In this study we investigate the geographical distribution of a distinctive …

Testate amoebae are unicellular organisms characterized by a shell-like test. Due to their
potential use as bioindicators (and paleoindicators), these organisms have been …

Thecamoebians (also called Testate amoebae) are protists belonging to the phylum
Sarcodaria, superclass Rhizopoda. They are a diverse and important component of the …

Although the testate amoebae Apodera vas, is frequently cited as evidence of a
microorganism with restricted distribution, no detailed morphometric studies have been …

In 1961, the testate amoeba Nebela kivuense Gauthier-Lièvre et Thomas, 1961 was
described for the first and only time from an area near Lake Edward in the Democratic …
