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 …

This third edition of Reconstructing Quaternary Environments has been completely revised
and updated to provide a new account of the history and scale of environmental changes …

Testate amoebae (TA) are unicellular protozoans enclosed in a test capable of indicating a
wide variety of environmental conditions. Among others, characteristics such as short life …

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 …

Abstract Changes in the vegetation and climate of the westerly-dominated areas in Central
Asia during the Holocene were interpreted using pollen-assemblages and charcoal data …

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 …

The proposition that the diversity and population dynamics of free-living protists might be
fundamentally different in character to that of macroscopic organ-isms (Table 1), creates …

We reconstructed the Holocene developmental history of a kettle-hole peatland in the
Tuchola Forest of Northern Poland, using pollen, testat amoebae and plant macrofossil …

Thecamoebians were examined from 71 surface sediment samples collected from 21 lakes
and ponds in the Greater Toronto Area to (1) elucidate the controls on faunal distribution in …

Winter deicing operations occur extensively in mid-to high-latitude metropolitan regions
around the world and result in a significant reduction in road accidents. Deicing salts can …
