Global Dispersal of Free-Living Microbial Eukaryote Species

The abundance of individuals in microbial species is so large that dispersal is rarely (if ever) restricted by geographical barriers. This “ubiquitous” dispersal requires an alternative view of the…
Ecology and evolution in anoxic worlds
- T. Fenchel, B. Finlay
- Biology
- 1995
The structure of anaerobic communities, competition and syntrophy, and interactions with the oxic world are studied.

Fluxes of methane and carbon dioxide from a small productive lake to the atmosphere
- P. Casper, S. Maberly, G. Hall, B. Finlay
- Environmental Science
- 1 April 2000
The fluxes of CH4 and CO2 to the atmosphere, and the relative contributions of ebullition and molecular diffusion, were determined for a small hypertrophic freshwater lake (Priest Pot, UK) over the…
The Ubiquity of Small Species: Patterns of Local and Global Diversity
- T. Fenchel, B. Finlay
- Environmental Science
- 1 August 2004
For small organisms, the relationship between species and area is flat, and a latitudinal diversity gradient is absent or weak, and these patterns are explained by some of the assumptions underlying the unified neutral community model.
Respiration rates in heterotrophic, free-living protozoa

It is conceivable that protozoan species exist with lower maximum potential growth and metabolic rates than those predicted from cell volume and the equations derived from the available data, but the lack of information concerning the state of the cells studied prevents verification.
Some rumen ciliates have endosymbiotic methanogens.

- 1 April 1994
Most of the small ciliate protozoa, including Dasytricha ruminantium and Entodinium spp. living in the rumen of sheep, were found to have intracellular bacteria. These bacteria were not present in…
Cosmopolitan metapopulations of free-living microbial eukaryotes.

- 1 June 2004
It is shown that most organisms smaller than 1 mm occur worldwide wherever their required habitats are realised, and that the 1-10 mm size range accommodates a transition from cosmopolitan to regionally-restricted distribution.
Protozoan control of bacterial abundances in freshwater.
- U. Berninger, B. Finlay, P. Kuuppo-Leinikki
- Environmental Science
- 1991
It is suggested that bacterial abundances are regulated by substrate supply and HNAN grazing pressure and the structure and function of microbial food webs in freshwater environments may thus be similar to those suggested for marine systems.
Freshwater protozoa: biodiversity and ecological function
- B. Finlay, G. Esteban
- Environmental Science, BiologyBiodiversity and Conservation
- 1 September 1998
The purpose of this article is to pull together various elements from current knowledge regarding the natural history of free-living protozoa in fresh waters. We define their functional role, set the…
