Citations in the corpus
- A statistical approach to estimate soil ciliate diversity and distribution based on data from five continents (2006, methodology): “Identification of species and species concept Identification of species was according to the literature cited in Foissner (1998) and Foissner et al. (2002).”
- Diversity and geographic distribution of ciliates (Protista: Ciliophora) (2008, methodology): “A total of 359 soil samples from Africa, Asia, Australia, South America, and Europe were investigated for ciliate diversity, using the monograph of Foissner et al. (2002) as a starting point.”
- Protist diversity and distribution: some basic considerations (2008, background): “When only a single sample from a habitat is investigated, for instance, a composite sample from 100 m2 forest soil, undersampling may miss 70% of the species actually present (Foissner 1999; Foissner et al. 2002).”
- Distribution and diversity of aquatic protists: an evolutionary and ecological perspective (2008, background): “It is a fact that there are rare soil and aquatic protist species which will not be encountered permanently in each suitable habitat (Foissner et al. 2002; Foissner 2006, 2007).”
- Biogeography and dispersal of micro-organisms: a review emphasizing protists (2006, methodology): “lem for the about 800 described species of soil ciliates (Foissner 1998, 2000; Foissner et al. 2002).”
- Resting cysts: A survival strategy in Protozoa Ciliophora (2011, background): “…correlated with the environment in which they are produced (Foissner et al. 2007), so in desert regions cysts remain viable in air-dried conditions for several or many years (Foissner et al. 2002) while those produced in rainforest soil lose viability within a few months (Foissner 1997, 2006).”
