Table 1 in Latitudinal Diversity Gradients in Free-living Microorganisms - Hoogenraadia a Key Genus in Testate Amoebae Biogeography

Table 1. Characters and distribution of six species of the genus Hoogenraadia (L – length, W – width). Many of the earlier papers do not report a sample size for number of tests measured – so it is possible that some of these data may be based on a very low sample size.
