Testate amoebae (Protozoa: Testacealobosea and Testaceafilosea) as bioindicators in the Late Quaternary deposits of the Bykovsky Peninsula, Laptev Sea, Russia
Testate amoebae (Protozoa: Testacea) were studied in the Late Quaternary permafrost deposits in the Siberian Arctic (Bykovsky Peninsula of the Laptev Sea coast, 71°40′ –71°80′ N and 129°–129°30′ E). The Testacea associations studied reflect specific environmental conditions in paleocryosols, which w...
