The Ciliate Diversity Chart

[75RR]

Chart link is: http://members.aon.at/peigner/Ciliate%20Diversity.htm

It can be saved as a pdf in my browser at least by: File - Print - Save as PDF - Save

The Web Site is Protozoa - Ciliophora - Hypotrichida

Its Home Page is: http://members.aon.at/peigner/index.htm

This is a link to the pdf with an additional more precise scale, as size is an important identifier.

The ones that mostly get in my bird bath I believe are- Spirotricha/ Hypotrich/ Stylonychia Notophora.

A new kind I first saw yesterday is an elongated "long tall drink of water" version of HYPOTRICHIDA and might be-

p. 572
Uroleptus piscis 1

The Stylonychia Notophora and the possible Uroleptus piscis do not get along at all. They go near it. It runs away.
