Thanks also to the Europe team at PAX, particularly Andriy, Cinta, and Medina, for making the office a welcoming place for an internship, and of course for your help, knowledge, and encouragement of both my research and (unexpectedly multiple) trips to Ukraine. I also owe a great debt to my parents and grandmother, as without their considerable moral and financial support, my studies in the Netherlands would not have been possible. I should also mention that I greatly appreciate your restraint in not calling the British Embassy when I forget to contact you from the Ukrainian countryside. To Christian, you know your translation, editing, and proofreading skills did not go unused. -

Microalgae of Protected Lakes of Northwestern Ukraine
Polish Botanical Journal 62(1): 61–76, 2017 e-ISSN 2084-4352 DOI: 10.1515/pbj-2017-0008 ISSN 1641-8190 MICROALGAE OF PROTECTED LAKES OF NORTHWESTERN UKRAINE Yuriy Malakhov 1, Olha Kryvosheia & Petro Tsarenko Abstract. The paper reports the first comprehensive study of microalgal species composition in four lakes of Volhynian Polissya (northwestern Ukraine), in which 271 species (279 intraspecific taxa) of 11 microalgal phyla were identified. Four dominant phytoplankton assemblages were determined for each lake. Bacillariophyta and Charophyta formed more than half (59.2%) of the taxonomic list, accounting for 94 and 66 species respectively. Desmidiaceae was the most diverse family, with 44 species (47 intraspecific taxa) of microalgae. The four lakes are highly dissimilar in species richness and composition, having only 8 (2.9%) species in common. Lake Cheremske had the highest number of algal species – 137 (144). Lake Bile, Lake Somyne and Lake Redychi were much less diverse, with 105, 79 (80) and 75 (78) species respectively. Morphological descriptions, original microg- raphies and figures are presented for a number of species, including some not previously documented in Ukraine: Chromulina cf. verrucosa G. A. Klebs, Eunotia myrmica Lange-Bert. and E. tetraodon Ehrenb. The lakes, which are almost pristine or are recovering, maintain diverse and valuable algal floras, making them important sites in the Pan-European ecological network. Key words: microalgae, diversity, distribution, phytoplankton, lakes, nature reserves, Volhynian Polissya -
