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 …

Bringing together more than 170 years of data, this study represents the first attempt to
construct a species checklist and analyze the diversity and distribution of testate amoebae in …

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 …

Testate amoebae diversity from 28 surface (0-3 cm depth) soil samples found near Cuzco (6
samples), in Machu Piсchu (17 samples), in Aguas Calientes (5 samples), and one bottom …

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

Testate amoebae are amoeboid protists inhabiting a test (shell). They occur globally in soils,
wetlands and freshwater, especially peats and mosses. They are of ancient origin, dating …

Background Testate amoebae are a polyphyletic group of protists living preferentially in
soils, freshwaters and wetlands. These Protozoa have a worldwide distribution, but their …

Aim Our aims were to compare the composition of testate amoeba (TA) communities from
Santa Cruz Island, Galápagos Archipelago, which are likely in existence only as a result of …

Methodological advances are essential for robust ecological research. Quantitative
reconstructions of environmental conditions using testate amoebae rely on sound taxonomy …

In this review we assess past and current trends in the use of testate amoebae in peatland
science, concentrating mainly on studies conducted in northern peatlands. We also discuss …
