Summary of thesis

We aim to determine the influence of 1) biogeography, 2) environmental filters, and 3)

species traits related to dispersal and colonisation ability such as life history traits, growth rate, size

and ecological tolerance on distribution patterns of micro-eukaryotes at different taxonomic

resolution. We will focus on Sphagnum mosses as a particular habitat, characterised by high

moisture, low nutrients and low pH, in order to minimise the effects of environmental filters.
