Ecology of Testate Amoebae in the Komorany Ponds in the Vltava Basin

Abstract

Testate amoeba (TA) assemblages were collected in 2005 from four ponds in Komořany (Prague, Czech Republic). An analysis of seasonal taxonomic variability of TA populations and its correlation with the limnological characteristics of the area (temperature, pH, total organic carbon, nitrogen, phosphorus, heavy metals, etc.) was performed
