Identification of free-living amoebas and amoeba-resistant bacteria accumulated in Dreissena polymorpha [PDF]

, 2020
To identify the free-living amoeba (FLA) and amoeba-resistant bacteria (ARB) accumulated in zebra mussels and in the water in which they are found, mussels were collected at two locations in the Ebro river basin (North East Spain). FLAs and bacteria were

Microeukaryotic Diversity and Habitat Structuring in a Desiccating Alkaline Maar Lake (Central Mexico)

Journal of Eukaryotic Microbiology, Volume 73, Issue 6, November/December 2026.
ABSTRACT Microeukaryotes are important components of microbial food webs in saline and alkaline lakes, yet their diversity and distribution across distinct microhabitats remain poorly understood. We characterized microeukaryotic communities associated with microbialites, microbial mats, hypersaline waters, and sediments in the desiccating maar lake ...

How wildlife respond to tropical cyclones: short‐term tactics and long‐term impacts

Biological Reviews, Volume 101, Issue 5, Page 2081-2102, October 2026.
ABSTRACT From butterflies to lizards and from sharks to seabirds, wildlife exhibit tactics to survive the impacts of tropical cyclones, also known as hurricanes, cyclones, or typhoons depending on where they occur. Some species seek refuge during the storm by moving, some remain in place and ride it out, and others move longer distances, avoiding the ...

Nasal Carriage of Free-Living Amoebae [PDF]

Microbial Ecology in Health and Disease, 1988
South Australia has had a relatively high frequency of human disease caused by free-living amoebae. The prevalence of these organisms in the nasal mucosa of 262 asymptomatic adult volunteers was determined. Acanthamoeba was isolated from six (2.3 per cent) subjects. This carriage rate is not high in comparison to other studies. Keywords: Free-living
