Distribución de las tecamebas muscicolas en la zona de bosque montano del Montseny

Abstract

In this paper a study of moss Thecamoeba collected in the mountain forest o Montseny is presented. The samples were gathered under oaks, beech-trees and isolated silver-firs. The biotopes A, B and C are respectively: the ground, the base of the trunk, and the middle part of the trunk. In biotope A, regardless the tipe of forest, the most abundant genera are: Centropyxis and Euglypha. In biotope B on oaks, the commonest genera are Trinema, Corythion and Euglypha, on beech-trees Euglypha and Centropyxis in that order, and on silver-firs Centropyxis and Euglypha. In biotope C the population is scarce in quality and quantity being the most abundant genera Euglypha and Corythion.
