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 ...
