“…Differences in climatic conditions cause the species composition and the structure of the assemblages to vary from locality to locality, being this influence stronger than the effects of geographic distance. These results are also supported by previous studies, which, although do not deal with the influence of climatic variables on protostelid assemblages, show that there are differences in species composition when comparing areas with temperate (Best and Spiegel, 1984;Moore and Spiegel, 1995, 2000a, 2000bShadwick and Stephenson, 2004;Tesmer et al, 2005;Aguilar et al, 2007;Brown and Spiegel, 2008;Shadwick et al, 2009a), tropical (Stephenson et al, 1999;Moore and Spiegel, 2000c;Moore and Stephenson, 2003;Powers and Stephenson, 2006;Ndiritu et al, 2009), and boreal climates (Moore et al, 2000;Spiegel and Stephenson, 2000;Kosheleva et al, 2009).…”

“…On a continental scale, is it also possible to find different communities in the same microhabitat, caused by different climate conditions (Ndiritu et al, 2009;Aguilar et al, 2011). Thought not statistically tested, there is a tendency that at least some species move towards ground litter in boreal areas (Spiegel and Stephenson, 2000), and towards aerial litter in tropical areas (Moore and Spiegel, 2000c).…”

“…White-rot in wood, however, increased with elevation and annual precipitation, whereas brown-rot (caused by different species of basidiomycete macrofungi) was most abundant in the middle of the elevation gradient [35]. Diversity and abundance of Mycetozoa ('slime molds') decreased with increasing elevation in the Luquillo Mountains [5,[73][74][75][76]. In contrast, bacteria abundance, especially among G-bacteria, was greatest at the two ends of the elevation gradient and lowest in mid-elevation wet forest [5].…”

“…They have been observed from collections made throughout the world (Olive, 1975;, 2000cMoore & al., 2000;Spiegel & Stephenson, 2000;Shadwick & Stephenson, 2004;Spiegel & al., 2004;Tesmer & al., 2005;Powers & Stephenson, 2006;Kosheleva & al., 2009;Ndiritu & al., 2009). For a recent comparison of published biodiversity studies on a global scale we recommend consulting Table 2 in Ndiritu & al.…”

“…Several surveys have been carried out in temperate areas (Best & Spiegel, 1984;, 2000a, 2000bShadwick & Stephenson, 2004;Tesmer & al., 2005;Aguilar & al., 2007;Brown & Spiegel, 2008;Shadwick & al., 2009a), tropical regions (Stephenson & al., 1999;Moore & Spiegel, 2000c;Moore & Stephenson, 2003;Powers & Stephenson, 2006;Ndiritu & al., 2009), boreal regions (Spiegel & Stephenson, 2000;Moore & al., 2000;Kosheleva & al., 2009), and aquatic environments Tessmer & Schnittler, 2009). However, it is remarkable that Europe, one of the territories most extensively studied for the great majority of organisms, has barely been surveyed for protosteloid amoebae.…”
