人类在自由生活的陆地微生物的全球扩散中的作用在文献中受到的关注令人惊讶地少，与人类对水生微生物扩散的频繁讨论相比。在这里，我认为，这方面需要更多的研究，使用的例子，从生态的有遗嘱的变形虫来说明问题的性质。分子生态学的技术现在使这些想法以一种在过去很难的方式开放给研究，并且，在有遗嘱的变形虫的情况下，古生态学方法也可能是有价值的。
The role of humans in the global dispersal of free‐living terrestrial microorganisms has received surprisingly little attention in the literature, compared with the frequent discussions of human dispersal for aquatic microbes. Here I argue that this area needs more study, using examples from the ecology of testate amoebae to illustrate the nature of the problem. The techniques of molecular ecology now make these ideas open to investigation in a way that would have been difficult in the past, and, in the case of testate amoebae, palaeoecological approaches may also be valuable.
