TL;DR: Field observations and experiments in a tropical forest revealed that Paramecium multimicronucleatum and other small aquatic organisms are transported between Heliconia flowers by terrestrial snails of the genus Caracolus.
Abstract: SYNOPSIS. Field observations and experiments in a tropical forest revealed that Paramecium multimicronucleatum and other small aquatic organisms are transported between Heliconia flowers by terrestrial snails of the genus Caracolus. It is probable that dispersal is readily accomplished in tropical forests, and that the presence or absence of Paramecium in a given area therefore is determined by biological interactions.
