A Preliminary Check-List of the Algae of Ireland Michael D. Guiry A Preliminary Check-list of the Algae of Ireland Michael D. Guiry Ryan Institute NUI Galway September 2019 i Introduction The present check-list is an initial attempt to provide an up-to-date list of the current names for freshwater, marine and terrestrial (including aerophytic) algae of Ireland. The list is extracted from the distributional data in AlgaeBase (https://www.algaebase.org) as of September 2019, and each name and its source is traceable on line there. Some 2879 current species names are presently included. Taxa at the subspecies, varieties and formae level are not provided. The list is current as of September 2019. Nine phyla/divisions are included, eight of them from the Eukaryota and one (Cyanobacteria) from the Prokaryota. Table 1. Included taxa. Phylum Species General name(s) Habitat Estimated included (Marine, completeness Freshwater, (%) Terrestrial) Bacillariophyta 1065 Diatoms M/F/T 50 Charophyta 639 Charophytes F 80 Desmids Chlorophyta 300 Green algae M/F/T 60 Cryptophyta 1 Cryptophytes F ? Cyanobacteria 221 Blue-green algae F/M/T 70 Glaucophyta 1 Glaucophytes F ? Miozoa 55 Dinoflagellates M/F 25 Ochrophyta 238 Ochrophytes; M/F/T 80 Tribophytes; brown algae; seaweeds Rhodophyta 359 Red algae, seaweed M/F 90 Total 2879 Recent lists exist for: desmids (John, Williamson & Guiry 2011) and seaweeds (Guiry 2012), and for diatoms by Carter in Wolnik & Carter (2014). The final list is likely to exceed 5000 species, or about 10% of the world’s species of algae. Poor coverage is apparent for diatoms, some green algae, Cryptophytes and Glaucophytes, and dinoflagellates. The list is arranged in alphabetical order within phyla, classes, orders, families and genera. References Guiry, M.D. (2012). A catalogue of Irish seaweeds. pp. [1]-250, 1 pl. Ruggell: A.R.G.

    Protistology 13 (4), 215–235 (2019) Protistology Diatom assemblages of the brackish Bolshaya Samoroda River (Russia) studied via light micro- scopy and DNA metabarcoding Elena A. Selivanova, Marina E. Ignatenko, Tatyana N. Yatsenko-Stepanova and Andrey O. Plotnikov Institute for Cellular and Intracellular Symbiosis of the Ural Branch of the Russian Academy of Sciences, Orenburg 460000, Russia | Submitted October 15, 2019 | Accepted December 10, 2019 | Summary Diatoms are highly diverse and widely spread aquatic photosynthetic protists. Studies of regional patterns of diatom diversity are substantial for understanding taxonomy and biogeography of diatoms, as well as for ecological perspectives and applied purposes. DNA barcoding is a modern approach, which can resolve many problems of diatoms identification and can provide valuable information about their diversity in different ecosystems. However, only few studies focused on diatom assemblages of brackish rivers and none of them applied the genetic tools. Herein, we analyzed taxonomic composition and abundance of diatom assemblages in the brackish mixohaline Bolshaya Samoroda River flowing into the Elton Lake (Volgograd region, Russia) using light microscopy and high-throughput sequencing of the V4 region of the 18S rDNA gene amplicons. In total, light microscopy of the samples taken in 2011–2014 and 2018 allowed to distinguish 39 diatom genera, represented by 76 species and infraspecies taxa. Twenty three species of diatoms were recorded in the river for the first time. Next-generation sequencing revealed a larger number of diatom taxa (26 genera and 47 OTUs in two samples vs. 20 genera and 37 species estimated by light microscopy). As a result, sequences of Haslea, Fistulifera, Gedaniella were recorded in the river for the first time.

  • Soft Algae Species Attributes
    SCCWRP Technical Report #0730 Development of Algal Indices of Biotic Integrity for Southern California Wadeable Streams and Recommendations for their Application, v3 This document is the deliverable for Prop 50 grant Task # 4, which entailed preparation of a draft algal IBI for use in southern California wadeable streams. Abstract Using a large dataset from wadeable streams concentrated in southern California, we developed several Indices of Biotic Integrity (IBIs) consisting of metrics derived from diatom and/or non- diatom (“soft”) algal assemblages including cyanobacteria. Over 100 metrics were screened based on metric score distributions, responsiveness to anthropogenic stress, and repeatability. High-performing metrics were combined into IBIs, which were classified according to the amount of field and laboratory effort required to generate their scores. IBIs were screened for responsiveness to anthropogenic stress, repeatability, mean correlation between component metrics, and indifference to natural gradients. Most IBIs resulted in good separation between the most disturbed and least disturbed (i.e., “reference”) site classes, but they varied in terms of how well they distinguished intermediate-disturbance sites from the other classes, and based on some of the other performance criteria listed. In general, the best performing IBIs were “hybrids”, containing a mix of diatom and soft-algae metrics. Of those tested, the soft-algae-only IBIs were better at distinguishing the intermediate from most highly disturbed site classes, and the diatom- only IBIs were marginally better than soft-algae based IBIs at distinguishing reference-quality from intermediate site classes. The single-assemblage IBIs also differed considerably in terms of the natural gradients to which they were most responsive.

These species were found in Laos, and this is first finding of this genus from Southeast Asia. Almost all species from this genus were described and exist in Holarctic. Many species have restricted distributions and are known from fossil deposits, North America, Mongolia or local endemics of ancient lakes such as Baikal, Prespa and Ohrid. Diversity of Aneumastus species from these ancient lakes is higher than from waterbodies of the Holarctic region taken together.Afew reports of this genus are from the southern Hemisphere (e.g. New Caledonia, Australia, Lake Tanganyika in Africa), but these taxon records are represented by asingle valve only from every region and they require additional taxonomical investigation and verification to understand the full extent of the distribution of the genus.

Miguel Estéfano, 3687, São Paulo, SP, Brasil. CEP: 04301-902. 2Universidade Estadual Paulista (UNESP), Instituto de Biociências, Av. 24-A, 1515, Rio Claro, SP, Brasil. CEP: 13506-900. E-mails: [email protected]*, [email protected], [email protected] ABSTRACT The diatom flora of the shallow lakes in the Pantanal of Nhecolândia is poorly known. Thus, our aim was to know the diatom biodiversity in three types of shallow lakes called “baías, salitradas and salinas”, characterized by differences in pH, electrical conductivity, contact with the coalescent system and the presence of macrophytes. The samples were collected in dry and rainy seasons, from 2004 to 2007. For taxonomic identification, the material was cleaned with H2O2 and analyzed using light microscopy. A total of 23 diatom species were identified and each lake presented a unique species richness and composition. The greatest species richness was found in the Baía da Sede Nhumirim (21 species), followed by the Salitrada Campo Dora (8 species) and finally the lowest species richness was observed in the Salina do Meio (3 species). Only Anomoeoneis sphaerophora Pfitzer var.sphaerophora and Craticula cf. buderi (Hustedt) Lange-Bertalot occurred in the three studied systems. Except for Eunotia binularis (Ehrenberg) Souza and Aulacoseira ambigua (Grunow) Simonsen, all the others are new records to the Brazilian Pantanal.

We revealed 455 species (552 with infraspecific taxa) of diatom algae compiled from reference studies in 1930-1983 that was done for the first time, and our data after many floristic surveys conducted in the field during 2000-2015. Floristic analysis of the total species richness revealed 65 rare and 22 species new for Pamir algal flora, and has allowed us to identify prevailed Classes, Orders, and Families in the diatoms. Only four genera are prevailing and contain about 30% of total richness. The Pinnularia species from them are representing extremely large numbers (39). They prefer fresh, clear, circumneutral-water habitats in natural aquatic objects with developed phytoperiphytonic communities, included many rare species and can be peculiarities of the Pamir diatom flora. Keywords: Diatoms, Algal flora, Pamir, Tajikistan Introduction Freshwater algae are widely used in ecological assessment of water quality (Stevenson, 2014). It is very important to know about algal diversity in inland waters because most of algal species can be used as environmental indicators.

    Turk J Bot 36 (2012) 727-737 © TÜBİTAK Research Article doi:10.3906/bot-1111-18 An illustrated survey on the morphological characters in three species of the diatom genus Mastogloia (Bacillariophyceae) Fatma SABANCI* Department of Hydrobiology, Faculty of Fisheries, Ege University, 35100 Bornova, İzmir - TURKEY Received: 22.11.2011 ● Accepted: 03.05.2012 Abstract: The valve morphology of Mastogloia braunii Grunow, Mastogloia pumila Cleve, and Mastogloia vasta Hustedt were investigated using field material. Specimens for study were collected from Homa Lagoon, İzmir Bay, Turkey (4- 29 °C; salinity 35‰-54‰) as epipelic and epiphytic (Ulva lactuca L.). The valve morphological characteristics of the 3 species were measured by calibrated ocular micrometer using 20 specimens from each species per station. The valve of M. braunii was 35.15-80.20 µm in length and 12.35-19.85 µm in width, the valve of M. pumila was 13.70-31.85 µm in length and 5.75-9.00 µm in width, and the valve of M. vasta was 31.20-43.35 µm in length and 11.90-18.10 µm in width. The results of Pearson’s correlation analysis revealed significant correlations among morphological features and environmental factors. All of the species display a positive correlation between valve length and valve width, and the number of transapical striae in 10 µm are invariable with changes in environmental factors. Seasonal differences in the morphological features of Mastogloia species were determined by one-way ANOVA analyses. Valve length, valve width, and total number of partecta were the common characteristics showing seasonal variation.

India. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________ Abstract Diatoms are the most species-rich group of the eukaryotic algae, consisting of more than 10,000 described species followed by Mastogloia and Nitzschia 4 each, Amphora and potentially cryptic species, found in all kinds of aquatic and Eunotia 3 each, Cyclotella, Gomphoneis, Navicula habitats. In the present study, fresh water bodies of and Tryblionella 2 each and one species each represented Kanekal region of Anantapuramu district were explored for by Aulacoseira, Bacillaria, Caloneis, Cymbella, Epithemia, their diatom wealth and evaluated taxonomic diversity Gyrosigma, Halamphora, Hantzschia, Pinnularia, among diatom taxa. Forty three taxa belonging to 21 Pleurosira, Rhopalodia, Stenopterobia and Surirella. genera were recorded which reveals Gomphonema recorded as predominant genus represented by 6 species Key words: Kanekal, Diatoms, lake, Andhra Pradesh Introduction Diatoms are interesting micro algae occur as unicellular and in colonial forms. Cells are enclosed in a shell made up of hydrates of silica (SiO2+H2O) called frustule. Diatoms obtain siliceous material from dissolved silica compounds. This frustule surface is characterised with variety of perforation, identification of the diatoms routinely based on the morphology of silica frustule, apart from the perforations valves in many taxa may be provided with a variety of small teeth, shorter or longer spines or siliceous projections of different shapes and sizes.
