Inland Saline Lakes as Hotspots of Specialized, Nonmarine Protist Diversity: The Case of Arcellinida (Amoebozoa)

open access: yesEnvironmental DNA, Volume 7, Issue 4, July–August 2025.
Using a species‐level metabarcoding protocol specific for Arcellinida testate amoebae, we explored the diversity of this mainly freshwater group of protists in saline lakes. We found a large amount of novel diversity, multiple independent transitions across the salinity barrier, and some clades formed and found in athalassohaline lakes, indicating ...
