Chloroplast and mitochondrial genomes of Sphaerosorus coelastroides Pascher (Xanthophyceae) from Central Appalachia, Clinch River, Virginia, United States. [PDF]

J Phycol
Abstract This report describes the isolation and culture of Sphaerosorus coelastroides from the plankton of a freshwater river in the central Appalachian mountain chain. This alga was first observed in a dry freshwater riverbed in Central Europe in 1908 and, since then, has been included in Xanthophyceae surveys from nearly all continents with ...

Seasonal Variation in the β-Diversity of Periphytic Algae and Its Response to Landscape Patterns in the Chishui River, a Naturally Flowing Tributary of the Upper Yangtze River. [PDF]

Ecol Evol
Landscape fragmentation and complexity were key determinants of β‐diversity in algal communities. Effective biodiversity conservation requires comprehensive conservation efforts throughout the Chishui River basin. Ensuring a balanced distribution of habitat patch numbers and patch sizes is critical to maintaining the aquatic environment in the Chishui ...

Ecological interactions in glacier environments: a review of studies on a model Alpine glacier. [PDF]

Biol Rev Camb Philos Soc
ABSTRACT Glaciers host a variety of cold‐adapted taxa, many of which have not yet been described. Interactions among glacier organisms are even less clear. Understanding ecological interactions is crucial to unravelling the functioning of glacier ecosystems, particularly in light of current glacier retreat.

Phycological biodiversity at the Natural Park Serra da Enciña da Lastra (Ourense, Spain)

Anales del Jardín Botánico de Madrid, 2016
We have studied the phycological diversity at the Natural Park of Serra da Enciña da Lastra (Ourense, Spain) and present here the algae checklist of the Galir river, the only permanent fluvial course in the area.

Phytoplankton from the Daimiel National Park. II. Cyanophytes, dinoflagellates, cryptophytes, chrysophytes and xanthophytes

Anales del Jardín Botánico de Madrid, 1999
Las Tablas de Daimiel National Park is a semiarid wetland that exhibits a high biodiversity but is suffering an inexorable eutrophication process. The study of the phytoplankton in this wetland is interesting because of its hydrological fluctuations ...

Diversity of ‘simple’ multicellular eukaryotes: 45 independent cases and six types of multicellularity

Biological Reviews, Volume 98, Issue 6, Page 2188-2209, December 2023., 2023
ABSTRACT Multicellularity evolved multiple times in the history of life, with most reviewers agreeing that it appeared at least 20 times in eukaryotes. However, a specific list of multicellular eukaryotes with clear criteria for inclusion has not yet been published.

Xanthophyceae planctônicas da planície de inundação do alto rio Paraná - DOI: 10.4025/actascibiolsci.v27i1.1353

Acta Scientiarum: Biological Sciences, 2008
Existem poucos estudos abordando a biodiversidade fitoplanctônica em ambientes aquáticos de planície de inundação, o que sugere a necessidade de estudos taxonômicos visando à conservação e recuperação desses ecossistemas.

A two‐dimensional morphospace for cyanobacteria and microalgae: Morphological diversity, evolutionary relatedness, and size constraints

Freshwater Biology, Volume 68, Issue 1, Page 115-126, January 2023., 2023
Abstract Body metrics are considered as master traits that regulate physiological, behavioural and life history features of planktic cyanobacteria and microalgae. Although the distribution of their morphological traits reflects the various trade‐offs and strategies needed for survival in pelagic habitats, previous methods for quantifying phytoplankton ...
