Planktonic ciliate composition and distribution together with physicochemical variables were
investigated in a shallow hypersaline lagoon, Pulicat, India, during three seasons, ie, pre …

With the industrial-level panel data on total output and wastewater discharge over the period
of 1997 to 2018, this paper employs GIS and ESDA methods to empirically investigate the …

The colonization features of periphytic protozoa have proved to be a useful tool for indicating
water quality status in aquatic ecosystems. In order to reveal the seasonal variations in …

To determine the effects of water depths on taxonomic breadth of biofilm-dwelling ciliates in
marine ecosystems,(1-month) baseline survey was conducted in coastal waters of the …

To analyze the structural characteristics of zooplankton functional groups (ZFGs) and their
correlation with environmental physicochemical factors in the Chaohu Lake Basin, water …

Colonization features of biofilm-dwelling protozoa, especially ciliates, are routinely used as
a useful tool for marine bioassessment. In this review, we summarize some of these features …

The aim of our study was to evaluate the water quality of an urban stream in southeastern
Brazil by analyzing epibenthic ciliates, and to investigate the existence of phylogenetic …

As a powerful biological indicator, multivariate dispersion in a community is widely used to
evaluate the biological evaluation of environmental heterogeneity. To investigate the effects …

As an important biological indicator, multivariate dispersion in homogeneity of an observed
community is a useful parameter for bioassessment of environmental heterogeneity. To …

To determine an optimal sampling strategy for collecting samples with an expected
taxonomic breadth, a 1-year baseline colonization survey was conducted in Chinese coastal …
