We investigated the ecology and paleoecology of testate amoebae in peatlands of the
Colombian páramo to assess the use of testate amoebae as paleoenvironmental indicators …

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 …

We present the first detailed analysis of subfossil testate amoebae from a tropical peatland.
Testate amoebae were analysed in a 4-m peat core from western Amazonia (Peru) and a …

Testate amoebae are abundant and diverse in Sphagnum peat bogs and have been used
extensively as indicators of past water table depths. Although these unicellular protists are …

Tropical peatlands represent globally important carbon sinks with a unique biodiversity and
are currently threatened by climate change and human activities. It is now imperative that …

Peatland testate amoebae are sensitive indicators of local hydrology and have been used
as proxies for surface moisture conditions in fossil studies. However, few regional calibration …

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

Testate amoebae are common proxies of past hydrological conditions in peatlands and are
increasingly used as indicators of ecosystems ecological integrity. The ecology of these …

Testate amoebae are a diverse and abundant group of protozoa that constitute a large
proportion of biomass in many ecosystems and probably fill important roles in ecosystem …

Testate amoebae (TA) are a common and diverse group of protists and are especially
abundant in peatlands. The structure of peatland TA communities is well correlated to …
