Specialists participating in the workshop were Kalina Manoylov from Michigan State University, MI; Nadezhda Slavchova and Rosalina Topalova from Portland State University, OR; Diane M. Winter from University of Nebraska, NB; Dr. Rex L. Lowe from Bowling Green State University, OH; Dr. Mark B. Edlund from the Science Museum of Minnesota, MN; Paul B. Hamilton from the Canadian Museum of Nature, Ottawa; and Dr. Sarah Spaulding from University of Colorado, Boulder, CO. Dr. Marina G. Potapova, Dr. Eduardo A. Morales, Dr. Donald F. Charles, Karin C. Ponader, Sarah Hamsher, Erin Hagan, Frank W. Acker, Mark Schadler and Kathleen Sprouffske from the Patrick Center for Environmental Research’s Phycology Section at the Academy of Natural Sciences of Philadelphia also participated in the workshop and/or collaborated in its organization. The First, Second, and Third NAWQA taxonomy workshops had the overall objectives of harmonizing taxa names used in the ANSP and University of Louisville/University of Michigan laboratories, identifying reference images for each taxon, and agreeing on up-to-date nomenclature to use when analyzing NAWQA 1994 and 1997-Start samples (See Clason and Charles, 1999; 2000; Morales and Potapova, 2000). The Fourth Workshop dealt with the taxonomy of some problematic Navicula and Gomphonema species (Morales, 2001a), the Fifth Workshop with additional problematic species in the genus Navicula (Morales, 2001b), and the Sixth Workshop with many problematic taxa in the genus Gomphonema (Morales, 2002a). The Seventh Workshop concentrated on problematic species of the genus Nitzschia (Morales and Hamilton, 2002). The Eighth Workshop focused on the production of an updated taxonomic list, 1 the 2001-Start Taxa List (Morales, 2003a). The Ninth Workshop dealt with the taxonomic review of lists and some groups of soft algae, including a review of taxa lists and consideration of cyanobacteria and red-algae groups (in prep.). The Tenth Workshop focused on the taxonomy of Achnanthes-like taxa that are difficult to identify under the light microscope (Morales and Charles, 2005). The Eleventh Workshop dealt with the taxonomy of the blue-green algae (in prep.). The Twelfth Workshop dealt with fragilarioid problematic taxa (in prep.). The Thirteenth Workshop dealt with the taxonomy of taxa related to Synedra ulna (Nitzsch) Ehrenberg (in prep.). The Fourteenth Workshop concentrated on the taxonomy of various soft algal groups and continued with the review of the soft algae taxa list (in prep). The Fifteenth Workshop, subject of this report, focused on the revision of the 2001-Start diatom taxa list to produce the 2004-Start list to be used in the analysis of samples collected in 2004 and subsequent years. This revision was based on discussions of recent transfers of taxa and the review of recent concepts of taxa at the family, genus and species levels. Criteria for Adopting New Names Taxonomic lists used for the analysis of NAWQA samples are regularly updated at three- year intervals. In order to achieve this, a workshop is organized and an extensive literature review is performed in search of new changes and advances in algal taxonomy (see “Procedure for Evaluating Names,” p. 4). Taxonomic names used for 2004-Start samples should reflect recent taxonomic trends, but any changes to the existing list should be made conservatively. Similar to the Third Workshop, the majority of new taxonomic names proposed in the literature pertain to the genus level. The majority of the newly erected genera are the result of discovery (mainly by SEM analysis) of a wide morphological variability within previously 2 established genera. These new genera tend to reflect more restricted groupings in which the morphological variability is limited, thus resulting in a more concise classification system. Some changes at the species and variety levels were also considered. Current literature reflects a tendency to work with morphologically restricted groups at the species level, restricting the use of the “variety” and “form” ranks. Therefore, many of these subspecific taxa became species of their own. Three main criteria were used in deciding whether to adopt a new name for the 2004- Start list. First, the validity of the proposed transfer was considered. Workshop participants determined whether creation of a new genus and/or species had a solid justification. Frequently, references with protologues were consulted and type material was observed, when available, from the ANSP Diatom Collection. To be accepted as a valid transfer, the new taxon had to be sufficiently supported by light microscopy (LM) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and/or ecological evidence. Second, the taxon had to be generally accepted by other diatom researchers. Participants relied on the frequency with which the new taxon was used in recent ecological and/or taxonomic literature, on the publication of arguments against or in favor of a given taxon, and on their own personal experience (i.e., does one consider that the taxon is sufficiently distinct?). During the Third Workshop, taxa changes may have been rejected because of their lack of distinguishable characters at the LM level. Due to the increasing use of SEM technology in published literature and by NAWQA analysts, this lack of LM characters was a minor criterion. Third, in cases in which a new genus had been accepted during the Third Workshop, additional transfers of species were done. In a few cases, workshop participants

(2016): Distribution of invasive species Actinocyclus normanii (Hemidiscaceae, Bacillariophyta) in Serbia. – Studia bot. hung. 47(2): 201–212. Abstract: In Serbia Actinocyclus normanii was registered in several rivers and canals. In 1997, it was found as planktonic species in the Tisza River and in benthic samples (in mud) in the Veliki Bački Canal. In 2002, it was found as planktonic species in the Danube–Tisza–Danube Canal (Kajtaso- vo) and the Ponjavica River (Brestovac and Omoljica). Four years later, in 2006, the species was found in plankton, benthos and epiphytic samples in the Ponjavica River (Omoljica). A. normanii is a cosmopolite, alkalibiontic and halophytic species. It occurs in waters with moderate to high conductivity and it is indicator of eutrophied, polluted waters. Its spread could be explained by eutrophication of surface waters. Key words: Actinocyclus normanii, distribution, invasive species, Serbia INTRODUCTION An invasive species is a non-native species to a new area, whose introduction has a tendency to spread and cause extinction of native species and is believed to cause economic or environmental harm or harm to human, animal, or plant health.

  • Protistology Diatom Assemblages of the Brackish Bolshaya Samoroda
    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.

  • 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.
