Species composition and ecology of naked amoebae in Ukraine and adjacent territories
Abstract
From the fresh and marine waters we identified 56 species of naked amoebae. Among the identified species, 17 were found to be the most frequent in Ukrainian water bodies, 27 species were infrequent, and 12 showed intermediate frequency of occurrence.
