The Effects of Sampling Depth on Benthic Testate Amoeba Assemblages in Freshwater Lakes: A Case Study in Lake Valdayskoe (the East European Plain)

The Effects of Sampling Depth on Benthic Testate Amoeba Assemblages in Freshwater Lakes: A Case Study in Lake Valdayskoe (the East European Plain)

Testate amoebae are widely used as proxies in paleoecological reconstructions of lacustrine environments; however, our knowledge on their distribution along depth gradients are limited. This study investigates the distribution of benthic testate amoebae along a sampling depth gradient (0 to 57 m) an...
