The testate amoebae (TA) of many potential habitats around the world have been barely
investigated but data on species presence and abundance is essential to answering big …

Testate amoebae are an abundant group of microorganisms which make a significant
contribution to the diversity of protist life. Most of the world's potential habitats for testate …

Testate amoebae are valued for their functional significance and application as indicators of
environmental conditions, particularly in peatland ecosystems. Research on testate …

The species composition of testate amoebae in caves from European Russia and North-East
Italy was studied. Twenty-seven species were identified from various habitats inside caves …

In order to better understand the distribution patterns of terrestrial eukaryotic microbes and
the factors governing them, we studied the diversity partitioning of soil testate amoebae …

Understanding the spatial and temporal variation in protist communities is essential for
comprehensive studies on diversity and biogeography, yet most research focuses on either …

We studied testate amoebae and possible correlated abiotic factors in soils of 31 mature
forest ecosystems using an easily applicable and spatially explicit method. Simple counting …

Microbial communities living in mosses are known to constitute early indicators of ecosystem
disturbances, but little is known about their response to environmental factors in the Antarctic …

Ecological studies of peatland testate amoebae are generally based on totals of 150
individuals per sample. However, the suitability of this standard has never been assessed …

Elevation gradients have been useful to study distributional patterns of soil organisms since
the time of Humboldt but only recently these patterns have been studied for soil …
