Notes

Five species of the Paramecium aurelia complex were identified in the Sudenten Mts., namely P. primaurelia, P. biaurelia, P. triaurelia, P. tetraurelia, and P. novaurelia. Among them P. biaurelia and P. novaurelia occurred most often and dominated over P. primaurelia, P. triaurelia and P. tetraurelia. The habitats of P. triaurelia there might represent the northern limit of this species in Europe.
