This review provides a synthesis of current knowledge on the morphological and functional
traits of testate amoebae, a polyphyletic group of protists commonly used as proxies of past …

Testate amoebae (TA) are unicellular protozoans enclosed in a test capable of indicating a
wide variety of environmental conditions. Among others, characteristics such as short life …

Protists are probably the most species-rich eukaryotes, yet their systematics are inaccurate,
leading to an underestimation of their actual diversity. Arcellinida (= lobose testate …

Objetivo: Este estudo teve como objetivo caracterizar a estrutura do zooplâncton em rios de
montanha no sul do Brasil, sub-bacia do rio Pelotas, bem como, as respectivas relações …

Due to frequent variations in environmental conditions, free-living amoebae adapt through
differentiation into different states. Hence, favorable conditions enable the formation of a …

The new testate amoeba species Meisterfeldia bitsevi is described from the linden-tree trunk
hollow in the urban park in Moscow (Russia). New species is characterized by elongated …

Long-term plankton studies in neotropical lakes are scarce. Here we studied plankton
composition in Lake Cote, Costa Rica, twice per year from 2002 to 2018, to monitor changes …

Difflugia are testate amoebae that use particulate inorganic matter to build a protective shell
(generally called a test or theca). Difflugia globulosa were grown both in culture containing …

Data on the distribution and species-environment relationships of rare and endemic species
of protists in Asian tropical waterbodies could provide valuable information for better …

O objetivo deste estudo foi realizar o primeiro levantamento da composição da comunidade
