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).”
Species concepts and speciation factors in cyanobacteria, with connection to the problems of diversity and classification (2015, background): “It requires extensive observation of the species diversity and distribution in nature (Foissner 2006) with subsequent quantiﬁcation.”
Resting cysts: A survival strategy in Protozoa Ciliophora (2011, methodology): “Only a few exceptions have been reported: for example, Pelagostrombidium fallax forms flask-shaped cysts while the cyst volume of Strombidium oculatum is larger than that of vegetative cells ( Table I ) (Foissner 2006 ; Foissner et al.”
Soil protistology rebooted: 30 fundamental questions to start with (2017, unknown): “Although distribution of bacteria may support the hypothesis that “ v y g v yw but, v m ” (Baas-Becking, 1934), its extrapolation to protists has been countered, particularly, by work on ciliates and testate amoebae (Foissner, 2006, 2008; Fernandez et al., 2016).”
A statistical approach to estimate soil ciliate diversity and distribution based on data from five continents (2006, background): “Further examples have been reviewed in Foissner (2006).”
Development of a new pan-European testate amoeba transfer function for reconstructing peatland palaeohydrology (2016, unknown): “Conflicting views assume universal ubiquity (Finlay and Clarke, 1999; Finlay et al., 1999, 499 2001) ﾗヴふﾗII;ゲｷﾗﾐ;ﾉぶﾉｷﾏｷデWS ｪWﾗｪヴ;ヮｴｷI;ﾉ SｷゲデヴｷH┌デｷﾗﾐﾗa ﾏｷIヴﾗﾗヴｪ;ﾐｷゲﾏゲふｷくWくデｴW けﾏﾗSWヴ;デW 500 WﾐSWﾏｷIｷデ┞ ﾏﾗSWﾉげき Foissner, 2008, 2006, 1999).”
Diversity and endemism in Rotifera: a review, and Keratella Bory de St Vincent (2008, background): “Rotifera, with an adult size range of 50–2,000 lm (and far smaller propagules; for an introduction see Wallace et al. 2006), are perfectly suited to test this hypothesis, which, in fact, has already raised substantial criticism ( Foissner 1999, 2006; Whitaker et al. 2003; Lachance 2004; Jenkins et ”
How do freshwater organisms cross the “dry ocean”? A review on passive dispersal and colonization processes with a special focus on temporary ponds (2015, background): “As pointed out by Foissner (2006), species distribution changes due to human activities are largely ignored in the discussion of distribution of (micro)organisms.”
AIRBORNE ALGAE: THEIR PRESENT STATUS AND RELEVANCE 1 (2007, background): “On the contrary, Staley and Gosink (1999), Papke et al. (2003), Hedlund and Staley (2004), Martiny et al. (2006), and Foissner (2006) believe that ubiquity of microorganisms might be correct, but only up to certain taxa.”
Diversity, dispersal and biogeography of bryophytes (mosses) (2008, background): “As already outlined by Foissner (2006), the small size of”
Dispersal, survival and delayed growth of benthic foraminiferal propagules (2010, background): “Are protistan biogeographic patterns characterized fundamentally by cosmopolitan distributions as outlined in the “ubiquity model” (e.g., Fenchel, 2005; Finlay et al., 2006), or rather does the “moderate endemicitymodel” prevail (Foissner, 2006;Weisse, 2008)?”
Myxomycete diversity and distribution from the fossil record to the present (2008, result): “Thus, the myxomycete distribution data are consistent with the “moderate endemicity model” proposed by Foissner (2006), who suggests that about 30% of the protist species are morphological and/or genetical and/or ecological endemics.”
Hierarchical zooplankton metacommunities: distinguishing between high and limiting dispersal mechanisms (2009, background): “Currently, there is a very active debate about the prevalence of dispersal rates in these taxonomic groups (e.g. Finlay & Clarke, 1999; Whitaker et al., 2003; Papke & Ward; 2004, Bell et al., 2005; Foissner, 2006).”
Modelling the effect of size on the aerial dispersal of microorganisms (2012, unknown): “These arguments have proved controversial, with other microbial ecologists, including some ciliate specialists, arguing in favour of non-cosmopolitan distributions in many free-living microbes (Mann & Droop, 1996; Foissner, 1999, 2006; Smith & Wilkinson, 2007).”
The diversity and distribution of diatoms: from cosmopolitanism to narrow endemism (2008, background): “Given the fact that many descriptions and illustrations of ‘diYcult’ species do not allow unambiguous evaluation of literature data, it is imperative that only conspicuous, easily recognizable taxa are dealt with, the so-called ‘Xag-ship’ taxa (Tyler 1996; Foissner 2006).”
Metagenetic analysis of patterns of distribution and diversity of marine meiobenthic eukaryotes (2014, background): “Here, we provide evidence of a heterogeneous meiobenthic local distribution where c. 40% of the taxa identified were endemic, similar to the 30% previously reported for protists (Foissner, 2006), clearly reflecting high species turnover among sites (β-diversity) and thus high regional diversity.”
