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

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

Organic rich sediments were obtained from seven core tops taken in Lake Quistococha, near
the city of Iquitos in the Peruvian Amazon. Subsamples from 0 to 4 cm depth in each core …

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 …

Substantial knowledge has accumulated on the microbiome of the hyperarid Atacama
Desert during the last two decades; however, information on Atacama free-living amoebae …

We studied testate amoebae (testates) in the soils of coniferous and deciduous forests and
in the wetland and aquatic habitats of Mexico. In 141 samples we found 205 taxa identified …

Fifty-seven surface sediment samples from 35 Florida lakes were collected to study testate
amoebae. Seven genera, 17 species, and 28 strains were identified in the 46 sediment …

Understanding the environmental factors that control community structure has become a
major focus of ecological research in recent decades. Here, we aimed to analyze the …

Thecamoebians (also called Testate amoebae) are protists belonging to the phylum
Sarcodaria, superclass Rhizopoda. They are a diverse and important component of the …
