Posted on 16/02/2016 by richard telford

Testate amoeba live in bogs, their shell or test is preserved in the peat after death. Some species seem to prefer drier conditions, others prefer wetter conditions. And thus we have the prerequisites for constructing a transfer function to reconstruct … Continue reading →
