Epitypification of Merismopedia tranquilla (Cyanobacteria) prompts phylogenetic reassessment of the genus and the description of two morphologically similar genera

open access: yesJournal of Phycology, EarlyView.
Abstract The genus Merismopedia is morphologically characterized by its distinctive colony arrangement yet exhibits considerable variability among species. Recent studies suggested that Merismopedia is polyphyletic, and its most likely true lineage was provisionally placed within the Microcystaceae. However, the available molecular data for most of the

Alternative equilibria in shallow lakes

Trends in Ecology & Evolution, 1993
The turbidity of lakes is generally considered to be a smooth function of their nutrient status. However, recent results suggest that over a range of nutrient concentrations, shallow lakes can have two alternative equilibria: a clear state dominated by aquatic vegetation, and a turbid state characterized by high algal biomass.

TBT Causes Regime Shift in Shallow Lakes

Environmental Science & Technology, 2006
Tributyltin (TBT) is an organotin compound used since the early 1960s as a biocide in boat antifouling paints. Its use has been linked to a host of negative effects in marine ecosystems including malformations and imposex in Mollusca and acute toxicity in many other aquatic animals.

Shallow urban lakes: a challenge for lake management

Hydrobiologia, 1999
Urban lakes are very different from other lakes: they are shallow, highly artificial and often hypertrophic yet more people come into contact with them than rural, natural lakes. Our knowledge of their ecology and management is poor. This paper describes a project under the EU Life programme to understand and ecologically manage the most important ...
