Checklist, diversity and distribution of testate amoebae in Chile.
Bringing together more than 170 years of data, this study represents the first attempt to construct a species checklist and analyze the diversity and distribution of testate amoebae in Chile, a country that encompasses the southwestern region of South America, countless islands and part of the Antarctic. In Chile, known diversity includes 416 testate amoeba taxa (64 genera, 352 infrageneric tax...
متن کاملTestate Amoebae (Amebozoa: Arcellinida) in Tropical Lakes of Central Mexico.
Testate amoebae are common single-celled eukaryotic organisms in aquatic ecosystems. Despite their important role in these ecosystems, and their potential as bioindicators and paleoindicators, they remain poorly studied in Mexico. The major objectives of this study were to: 1) increase knowledge of testate amoebae in Mexico’s tropical lakes, and 2) create a catalog of high-quality scanning elec...
متن کاملVertical micro-distribution and response to nitrogen deposition of testate amoebae in Sphagnum.
Previous studies have shown the existence of a vertical micro-distribution of testate amoebae in the first centimeters of Sphagnum and their response to nutrient enrichment. In order to test the response of testate amoebae to depth and N addition in dry moss carpets recolonizing cutover peatlands, we sampled Sphagnum that had received 0, 1, 3, or 10g N m(-2) yr(-1) for three years. The mosses w...
متن کاملTestate amoebae as paleoindicators of surface-moisture changes on Michigan peatlands: modern ecology and hydrological calibration
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 datasets exist in North America, and knowledge of testate amoeba ecology and distribution patterns are limited. The objectives of this study were to (1) investigate the relationship between testate amoebae, enviro...
متن کاملCan soil testate amoebae be used for estimating the time since death? A field experiment in a deciduous forest.
Estimation of the post-mortem interval (PMI, the time interval between death and recovery of a body) can be crucial in solving criminal cases. Today minimum PMI calculations rely mainly on medical and entomological evidence. However, beyond 4-6 weeks even entomological methods become less accurate. Thus additional tools are needed. Cadaveric fluids released by decomposing cadavers modify the so...
