Evidence supporting the concept of a regionalized distribution of testate amoebae in the Arctic
Abstract: Forty different sites, represented by 1483 samples, ranging from Alaska eastwards to Siberia, have been studied to assess the circumpolar testate amoebae species diversity. A total of 378 species have been recorded. The most common taxa are cosmopolitan and are widely distributed across va...
