Scientific Name Nebela tubulosa (probably)
Location Zamora, Castille and Leon, Spain
Comments Nebela carinata es una ameba del grupo de las Testacea (con caparazón), casi gigante -sobrepasa las 200 micras de longitud- que se desplaza lentamente entre los restos de musgo de las turberas, alimentándose de algas y de otros restos vegetales. Su teca en forma de pera está aplastada dorsoventralmente y rodeada por una especie de cresta (carena) en todo su contorno. Los pseudópodos le sirven para ir avanzando lentamente, fijarse al sustrato y capturar el alimento y en su interior se adivina el núcleo en la parte central y varias vacuolas digestivas, y, por lo que parece se ha alimentado bastante bien. La muestra sobre la que se ha tomado la fotografía procede de las turberas situadas en las inmediaciones de la Laguna de Peces. Se ha tomado a 400 aumentos empleando la técnica de contraste de interferencia.

This page is a Tree of Life Branch Page.

Each ToL branch page provides a synopsis of the characteristics of a group of organisms representing a branch of the Tree of Life. The major distinction between a branch and a leaf of the Tree of Life is that each branch can be further subdivided into descendent branches, that is, subgroups representing distinct genetic lineages.

For a more detailed explanation of the different ToL page types, have a look at the Structure of the Tree of Life page.
