• Potential implications of differential preservation of testate amoeba shells for paleoenvironmental reconstruction in peatlands (2008, result): “These results call for more studies on the ecology of minerotrophic peatland testate amoebae and also for improvements in the taxonomy (Mitchell et al. 2008).”
• Development of a new pan-European testate amoeba transfer function for reconstructing peatland palaeohydrology (2016, background): “Introduction 59 Testate amoebae are microscopic, unicellular shelled protozoa that are abundant in a range of 60 wetlands, including peatlands (Mitchell et al., 2008).”
• Chemical and Biological Gradients along the Damma Glacier Soil Chronosequence, Switzerland (2011, positive): “Testate Amoebae Testate amoebae were selected among soil organisms because of their role in mineralizing nutrients and regulating bacterial populations and their ease of observation by light microscopy (Mitchell et al., 2008; Wilkinson 2008).”
• Soil protistology rebooted: 30 fundamental questions to start with (2017, neutral): “A particular example of this is in paleoecology, where the hard shells of testate amoebae, diatoms and foraminifera are widely used in the reconstruction of past environments and past climate change over a range of timescales (Mitchell et al., 2008; Adl et al., 2011; Charman, 2015).”
• Diversity and biogeography of testate amoebae (2008, background): “Other species have disjunct recorded distributions in Canada, Eurasia, Australia and the Antarctic (Deflandre 1936; Meisterfeld and Tan 1998 ).”
