The vast areas of permafrost peatlands in the West Siberian Lowland (WSL) hold a
significant amount of carbon currently at risk due to human-caused global warming. The …

The salinity and humidity barriers divide biodiversity and strongly influence the distribution of
organisms. Crossing them opens the possibility for organisms to colonize new niches and …

The shells of testate amoebae are morphologically diverse and persistent in the
environment. Accordingly, the examination of the morphology and composition of shells …

Environmental DNA‐based diversity studies have increased in popularity with the
development of high throughput sequencing technologies. This permits the potential …

Free-living amoebae (FLA) are phagocytic protists that play crucial roles in microbial
communities as significant microbial grazers. However, our current knowledge of their …

Metabarcoding approaches targeting microeukaryotes have deeply changed our vision of
protist environmental diversity. The public repository EukBank consists of 18S v4 …

Arcellinida is ascending in importance in protistology, but description of their diversity still
presents multiple challenges. Furthermore, applicable tools for surveillance of these …

Testate amoebae are widely used as bioindicators in the study of modern ecotopes and as
proxies in palaeoecological reconstructions of lacustrine environments. The metalimnion …

The paper describes a dataset, comprising 236 surface moss samples and 143 testate
amoeba taxa. The samples were collected in 11 Sphagnum-dominated bogs during frost …

Testate amoebae are unicellular eukaryotic organisms covered with an external skeleton
called a shell. They are an important component of many terrestrial ecosystems, especially …
