There is little knowledge about testate amoebae in lakes and their responses to volcanic
eruptions. To address this knowledge gap, we studied the paleoecology of these protists in a …

Testate amoebae are common single-celled eukaryotic organisms in aquatic ecosystems.
Despite their important role in these ecosystems, and their potential as bioindicators and …

We report here the first findings of testate amoebae at high southern latitudes (54° S) from
four gravity cores recovered in the Lago Fagnano (Tierra del Fuego, Argentina), where …

Testate amoebae are bioindicators sensitive to environmental change, which show good
preservation in sediments of low pH environments, such as high mountain lakes (LAM). The …

Freshwater quality represents a central issue for human populations and the conservation of
aquatic communities. In this sense, freshwater reservoirs, such as lakes, require proper …

The ecology of aquatic protists such as testate amoebae is poorly known worldwide, but is
almost completely unknown in lakes of the northern Neotropics. To address this knowledge …

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

Paleolimnology studies in tropical reservoirs and urban lakes are relatively scarce. These
aquatic ecosystems, however, are subject to a range of environmental impacts, including …

To date there have only been two studies using testate amoebae as palaeoecological
indicators in tropical peatlands. Here we present a new∼ 500-year testate amoeba record …

Testate amoebae are a diverse group of shelled protists frequently used as model
organisms in microbial biogeography. Relatively few species have been reported for the …
