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 …

Biogenic silicon (BSi) has been found to play a fundamental role in the link between global
Si and carbon cycles, because it represents a key factor in the control of Si fluxes from …

Aim To conduct the first global‐scale investigation of soil nematode assemblages using a
standardized approach to quantify how environmental and climatic variables influence …

Aim We investigate the long‐standing question of whether the small size of microbes allows
most microbial species to colonize all suitable sites around the globe or whether their …

Large (> 100 μm), profusely ornamented microfossils comprise a distinctive paleontological
component of sedimentary rocks deposited during the Ediacaran Period (635–542 million …

We asked the following question: Is the lack of attention given to testate amoebae, and other
protists, in studies of nutrient cycling justified by their relative unimportance or are we …

Although free‐living protists play essential roles in aquatic and soil ecology, little is known
about their diversity and phylogeography, especially in terrestrial ecosystems. We used …

Monitoring the components of diversity may provide important information about diversity
dynamics and processes that modify ecosystems. We investigated the temporal diversity of …

Traditions of Eastern thought conceptualised life in a holistic sense, emphasising the
processes of maintaining health and conquering sickness as manifestations of an …

Fossil testate amoeba assemblages have been used to reconstruct peatland
palaeohydrology for more than two decades. While transfer function training sets are …
