Using scanning electron micrographs, this book illustrates most of the common species of testate amoebae found in freshwater habitats. Information on the biology, ecology, geographical distribution, and classification is followed by descriptions of 95 species, each illustrated by several views of the shell. The text serves both as an identification guide and as an introduction to the biology and taxonomy of these freshwater protozoa. Readership: protozoologists, ecologists, limnologists, water tyreatment specialists, and micropaleontologists interested in recent sediments.
