Soil protists: a fertile frontier in soil biology research
Protists include all eukaryotes except plants, fungi and animals. They are an essential, yet
often forgotten, component of the soil microbiome. Method developments have now …

Diversity and biogeography of testate amoebae
HG Smith, A Bobrov, E Lara - Protist diversity and geographical distribution, 2009 - Springer
Testate amoebae are amoeboid protists inhabiting a test (shell). They occur globally in soils,

Seven-year dynamics of testate amoeba communities driven more by stochastic than deterministic processes in two subtropical reservoirs
Testate amoebae are widely distributed in natural ecosystems and play an important role in
the material cycle and energy flow. However, community assembly of testate amoebae is not …
