The Moss Dwelling Testacean Fauna of the Strømness Bay (South Georgia)

並列摘要


The study of 22 aquatic and 36 terrestrial moss samples of the Strømness Bay (South Georgia, sub-Antarctica) revealed 71 testate amoebae taxa (Protists) belonging to 21 genera. Twenty-eight taxa were reported for the first time, which resulted in a total of 87 testate amoebae taxa observed from South Georgia. A cluster and a correspondence analysis pointed out a clear difference between the aquatic and the terrestrial moss samples. Four assemblages of characteristic testate amoebae species with specific ecological preferences were distinguished. The moss dwelling testacean fauna of South Georgia was compared to other sub-Antarctic islands, such as Marion Island, Îles Kerguelen and Île de la Possession.
