We investigate for the first time the species composition and community structure of lobose
thecamoebians (Arcellinida) inhabiting an unpopulated and pristine island from the …

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 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 …

There has only been one study on the ecology of testate amoebae from Amazonian
peatlands, despite Amazonia being a biodiversity hotspot of global importance. During …

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 …

Flagship species are defined as microbial eukaryote species with characteristic
morphologies and restricted geographic distributions. These are proposed as ideal systems …

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

microbial biogeography Page 121 7 Arcellinida testate amoebae (Amoebozoa: Arcellinida) …

The taxonomic identity in microbial eukaryotes remains an impediment to discussing
ecology, biogeography and phylogeny, mainly due to a lack of standards in organism …

We investigated changes in diversity and density of testate amoebae in epiphytes of trees in
tropical montane rain forests of southern Ecuador. Local–microscale [height on tree trunk of …
