Simmelried near Konstanz, BW, Germany, pond 27.09.2017

The Simmelried near Konstanz is unique in that there is probably no other bog biotope in the world that has been studied so long and intensively for protists and other life forms that are only visible under the microscope. Dr. Martin Kreutz and Prof. W. Foissner have found many new ciliate species here and documented their morphology and ecology with unprecedented precision.
