The Hawaiian Freshwater Algae Biodiversity Survey
Sherwood et al. BMC Ecology 2014, 14:28 http://www.biomedcentral.com/1472-6785/14/28 RESEARCH ARTICLE Open Access The Hawaiian freshwater algae biodiversity survey (2009–2014): systematic and biogeographic trends with an emphasis on the macroalgae Alison R Sherwood1*, Amy L Carlile1,2, Jessica M Neumann1, J Patrick Kociolek3, Jeffrey R Johansen4, Rex L Lowe5, Kimberly Y Conklin1 and Gernot G Presting6 Abstract Background: A remarkable range of environmental conditions is present in the Hawaiian Islands due to their gradients of elevation, rainfall and island age. Despite being well known as a location for the study of evolutionary processes and island biogeography, little is known about the composition of the non-marine algal flora of the archipelago, its degree of endemism, or affinities with other floras. We conducted a biodiversity survey of the non-marine macroalgae of the six largest main Hawaiian Islands using molecular and microscopic assessment techniques. We aimed to evaluate whether endemism or cosmopolitanism better explain freshwater algal distribution patterns, and provide a baseline data set for monitoring future biodiversity changes in the Hawaiian Islands. Results: 1,786 aquatic and terrestrial habitats and 1,407 distinct collections of non-marine macroalgae were collected from the islands of Kauai, Oahu, Molokai, Maui, Lanai and Hawaii from the years 2009–2014. Targeted habitats included streams, wet walls, high elevation bogs, taro fields, ditches and flumes, lakes/reservoirs, cave walls and terrestrial areas. Sites that lacked freshwater macroalgae were typically terrestrial or wet wall habitats that were sampled for diatoms and other microalgae. Approximately 50% of the identifications were of green algae, with lesser proportions of diatoms, red algae, cyanobacteria, xanthophytes and euglenoids. -

We found that the genus Asterococcus and two uni- cellular , volvocalean genera , Lobochlamys Proschold & al. and Oogamochlamys Proschold Proschold & al., formed a robust monophyletic group , which was separated from two te 位asporalean clades , one composed of Tetraspora Link and Paulschulzia Sk 吋a and the other other containing the other palme l1 0psidacean genus Chlamydocaps αFot t.

In total, 26 desmid taxa were found and identified as new records for the desmid flora of Turkey based on their morphotaxonomic characteristics and ecological preferences. The taxa identified belong to the genera Actinotaenium (1), Closterium (1), Cosmarium (15), Micrasterias (1), Spondylosium (1), Staurastrum (5), Teilingia (1), and Tetmemorus (1). Morphotaxonomy, ecology, and distribution of each species were discussed in detail. Key words: Desmids, new records, high mountain lakes, Artabel Lakes Nature Park, Turkey 1. Introduction Desmids are an integral part of benthic habitats of Desmid habitats are exclusively freshwater (Coesel and high mountain lakes; in particular, those of the Northern Meesters, 2007; Kouwets, 2008). Desmids usually prefer Hemisphere (Medvedeva, 2001; Sterlyagova, 2008).

Abstract: Venezuelan Table Mountains (tepuis) are among world’s most unique ecological systems and have been shown to have high incidence of endemics. The top of Roraima, the highest Venezuelan tepui, represents an isolated enclave of species without any contact with the surrounding landscape. Daily precipitation enables algae and cyanobacteria to cover the otherwise bare substrate surfaces on the summit in form of a black biofilm. In the present study, 139 samples collected over 4 years from various biotopes (vertical and horizontal moist rock walls, small rock pools, peat bogs, and small streams and waterfalls) were collected and examined for algal diversity and species composition. A very diverse algal flora was recognized in the habitats of the top of Mt. Roraima; 96 Bacillariophyceae, 44 Cyanobacteria including two species new to science, 37 Desmidiales, 5 Zygnematales, 6 Chlorophyta, 1 Klebsormidiales, 1 Rhodophyta, 1 Dinophyta, and 1 Euglenophyta were identified. Crucial part of the total biomass consisted of Cyanobacteria; other significantly represented groups were Zygnematales and Desmidiales. -
