Exploring Leeuwenhoek's legacy: the abundance and diversity of protozoa.

International microbiology : the official journal of the Spanish Society for Microbiology - 1 Sept 2001

Finlay B J, Esteban G F

Abstract excerpt

Towards the end of the 17th century, Leeuwenhoek built "magnifying glasses" that enabled him to see and describe protozoa for the first time. Continued exploration of the natural history of protozoa during the past 300 years has progressed far beyond simply documenting morphospecies (global total probably <20,000). We now realize that protozoan 'biodiversity' is multi-faceted (e.g. sibling species, variant...
