• “Missing” protists: a molecular prospective (2008, background): “A notable exception may be a recent study of soil ciliate diversity by Chao et al. (2006).”
• Diversity and endemism in Rotifera: a review, and Keratella Bory de St Vincent (2008, background): “Basically, the rotifer data match the moderate endemicity model of Foissner (2006) and Chao et al. (2006) better than the ubiquity model of Finlay (2002) and Fenchel and Finlay (2004).”
• Diversity and geographic distribution of benthic foraminifera: a molecular perspective (2008, result): “Other results, however, point to the fact that the geographic distribution of many protist species is limited and about one third of species might be endemic in a morphological and/or genetic way (Chao et al. 2006; Foissner 2006).”
• The diversity and distribution of diatoms: from cosmopolitanism to narrow endemism (2008, background): “In contrast, various recent studies suggest that microorganisms, like macro-organisms, do display restricted geographic ranges, as recently outlined in the moderate endemicity model (Chao et al. 2006; Foissner 2006).”
• Biogeography and dispersal of micro-organisms: a review emphasizing protists (2006, background): “Finally, when the very conservative estimate of 2000 species of soil ciliates globally is used in our calculations (Foissner 1997b, Chao et al. 2006), the ratio of local: global diversity drops to 14%.”
• Protist diversity and distribution: some basic considerations (2008, background): “Although various attempts have been made to correct morphologic and molecular data for this hidden diversity (Chao et al. 2006; Hong et al. 2006), we have only a vague knowledge how many of them are overlooked either because they are inactive or do not reproduce to detectable numbers.”
