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 …

In the decade since the first pan-European testate amoeba-based transfer function for
peatland palaeohydrological reconstruction was published, a vast amount of additional data …

Peatlands form important landscape elements in many parts of the world and play significant
roles for biodiversity and global carbon balance. This new edition has been fully revised and …

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 …

We studied the relationship between testate amoebae (Protozoa) communities and the
depth to the water table (DWT), pH, conductivity, and microhabitat type in Sphagnum …

The analysis of testate amoebae (Protozoa: Rhizopoda) in peat is proving to be a useful new
quantitat ive technique for assessing hydrological change on peatlands. Preparation …

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 …

Changes in surface wetness on Holocene ombrotrophic mires have principally been
estimated from plant macrofossils and humification. Testate amoebae (Protozoa …

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 (Protozoa: Rhizopoda) are frequently used as indicators of past
environmental changes, and the interpretation of fossil assemblages depends upon our …
