Testate amoebae are now commonly used in paleoenvironmental studies but little is known
of their taphonomy. There is some experimental evidence for differential preservation of …

The use of testate amoebae in studies of peatland hydrology and palaeohydrology has been
increasing, and considerable efforts have been made over the past decade to standardise …

Testate amoebae are unicellular animals with a discrete shell enclosing the cytoplasm. The
shells are readily preserved, are abundant in freshwater peatland and lake sediments, and …

Fossil testate amoeba assemblages have been used to reconstruct peatland
palaeohydrology for more than two decades. While transfer function training sets are …

In the decade since the first pan-European testate amoeba-based transfer function for
peatland palaeohydrological reconstruction was published, a vast amount of additional data …

Testate amoebae are common proxy for water table depth in peatlands and are commonly
used to reconstruct past hydroclimatic conditions. In northeastern America, previous transfer …

Testate amoebae analysis has been shown to be a valuable technique to reconstruct
peatland palaeohydrology and thereby past climate change. However there is cause for …

A laboratory-based experiment was carried out to examine the dissolution characteristics of
testate amoebae (Protozoa: Rhizopoda) under acidic conditions. The results suggest a large …

Testate amoebae are abundant in the surface layers of northern peatlands. Analysis of their
fossilized shell (test) assemblages allows for reconstructions of local water‐table depths …

Testate amoebae are increasingly used in ecological and palaeoecological studies of
wetlands. To characterise the amoeba community a certain number of individuals need to be …
