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 …

Testate amoebae are common inhabitants of moist soils, wetland, and lacustrine habitats.
They produce a decay-resistant test, or shell, which can be identified to species in most …

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 …

Testate amoebae are single‐celled organisms that construct shells that can be found in salt
marsh sediments. Surface samples show that different taxa occur at different elevations in …

Testate amoebae (also referred to as rhizopods, thecamoebians and arcellaceans) are
single-celled organisms in which the cytoplasm is enclosed within an external shell (the …

Testate amoebae are an abundant and diverse polyphyletic group of shelled protozoa living
in aquatic to moist habitats ranging from estuaries to lakes, rivers, wetlands, soils, litter, and …

Testate amoebae inhabiting Sphagnum peatlands are sensitive indicators of substrate-
moisture content. However, ecological data from a range of peatland types is needed to …

This review provides a synthesis of current knowledge on the morphological and functional
traits of testate amoebae, a polyphyletic group of protists commonly used as proxies of past …

Assemblages of testate amoebae in UK saltmarshes are strongly correlated with elevation
and flooding duration, suggesting that if adequately preserved in sediments they may be …

The ecology of peatland testate amoebae is well studied along broad gradient from very wet
(pool) to dry (hummock) micro-sites where testate amoebae are often found to respond …
