Silica‐scaled heterotrophic protists Rotosphaerida, Thaumatomonadida, and Centroplasthelida in the large continuous ecosystem connecting Lake Baikal to the Kara Sea
Abstract Heterotrophic protists Rotosphaerida, Thaumatomonadida, and centrohelid heliozoans are among the less studied silicified protists in terms of their biogeography and ecology. These organisms inhabit fresh and brackish water, and leave behind siliceous structural elements after death that are...
