Davidova*, Victor M. Vasilev University of Shumen “Ep. K. Preslavsky”, Faculty of natural sciences, 115 Universitetsca Str., 9700 Shumen, BULGARIA * Corresponding author: [email protected] Abstract. An ecological study of the testate amoebae fauna in Durankulak Lake (Northeastern Bulgaria) revealed 91 taxa, belonging to 20 genera. The genera Difflugia (34 species), Centropyxis (14), Arcella (6) and Difflugiella (6) had the highest species diversity. The species Trinema enchelys (31.2% relative abundance), Euglypha rotunda (15.1%) and Microchlamys patella (6.6%) were present with high population density and were dominants in the lake. The species richness and abundance of testaceans differed considerably among separate localities. By the mean of some basic indices for structure of communities, a characterization of the diversity of testate amoebae was made. Keywords: Testate amoebae, Durankulak Lake, diversity, frequency, relative abundance Introduction water currents, etc. A number of species, Wetlands are one of the greatest natural whose survival depends mainly on the resources on earth.

Testate amoebae in Vietnam are still poorly investigated. We studied species composition of testate amoebae in 47 waterbodies of South Vietnam provinces including natural lakes, reservoirs, wetlands, rivers, and irrigation channels. A total of 109 species and subspe- cies belonging to 16 genera, 9 families were identified from 191 samples. Thirty-five species and subspecies were observed in Vietnam for the first time. New speciesDifflugia vietnamica sp. nov. is described. The most species-rich genera are Difflugia (46 taxa), Arcella (25) and Centropyxis (14). Centropyxis aculeata was the most common species (observed in 68.1% samples). Centropyxis aerophila sphagniсola, Arcella discoides, Difflugia schurmanni and Lesquereusia modesta were characterised by a frequency of occurrence >20%. Other spe- cies were rarer. The species accumulation curve based on the entire dataset of this work was unsaturated and well fitted by equation S = 19.46N0.33. Species richness per sample in natural lakes and wetlands were significantly higher than that of rivers (p < 0.001). The result of the Spearman rank test shows weak or statistically insignificant relationships between species richness and water temperature, pH, dissolved oxygen, and electrical conductivity.
