The analyzed samples represented a time-series of over 150 years. An HPLC coupled with a diode array detector (HPLC-DAD) in hydrophilic interaction liquid chromatography (HILIC) mode method was developed and validated for the quantitative determination of MAAs. We found evidence for substance specific differences in the quality of preservation of two MAAs (mycosporine glutamicol, mycosporine glutaminol) in Natural History Collections. We found no change in average mycosporine glutamicol concentrations over time. Mycosporine glutaminol concentrations instead decreased rapidly with no trace of this substance detectable in collections older than nine years.

  • 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.

Recent studies have shown a high biodiversity among these organisms and questioned the traditional generic and species concept. We studied 34 strains assigned as Stichococcus, Pseudostichococcus, Diplosphaera and Desmocococcus. Phylogenetic analyses using a multigene approach revealed that these strains belong to eight independent lineages within the Prasiola clade of the Trebouxiophyceae. For testing if these lineages represent genera, we studied the secondary structures of SSU and ITS rDNA sequences to find genetic synapomorphies. The secondary struc- ture of the V9 region of SSU is diagnostic to support the proposal for separation of eight genera.

  • Composition and Distribution of Subaerial Algal Assemblages in Galway City, Western Ireland

Tous droits réservés Composition and distribution of subaerial algal assemblages in Galway City, western Ireland Fabio RINDI* and Michael D. GUIRY Department of Botany, Martin Ryan Institute, National University of Ireland, Galway, Ireland (Received 5 October 2002, accepted 26 March 2003) Abstract – The subaerial algal assemblages of Galway City, western Ireland, were studied by examination of field collections and culture observations; four main types of assem- blages were identified. The blue-green assemblage was the most common on stone and cement walls; it was particularly well-developed at sites characterised by poor water drainage. Gloeocapsa alpina and other species of Gloeocapsa with coloured envelopes were the most common forms; Tolypothrix byssoidea and Nostoc microscopicum were also found frequently. The Trentepohlia assemblage occurred also on walls; it was usually produced by large growths of Trentepohlia iolithus, mainly on concrete. Trentepohlia cf. umbrina and Printzina lagenifera were less common and occurred on different substrata. The prasio- lalean assemblage was the community usually found at humid sites at the basis of many walls and corners. Rosenvingiella polyrhiza, Prasiola calophylla and Phormidium autumnale were the most common entities; Klebsormidium flaccidum and Prasiola crispa were locally abundant at some sites. The Desmococcus assemblage was represented by green growths at the basis of many trees and electric-light poles and less frequently occurred at the bases of walls. Desmococcus olivaceus was the dominant form, sometimes with Chlorella ellipsoidea. Trebouxia cf. arboricola, Apatococcus lobatus and Trentepohlia abietina were the most common corticolous algae. Fifty-one subaerial algae were recorded; most did not exhibit any obvious substratum preference, the Trentepohliaceae being the only remarkable excep- tion.

The mountain oasis is situated around it in the Gruber Mts. of the Wohlthat Massif. For approximately 7,000 years the area has been free of ice and the local climate relatively stable. It is very severe, cold, and windy and dominated by intense evaporation and sublimation but with little melt. Relative humidity averages only 37%. Vegetation is sparse in the oasis and previously only poorly investigated. Two lichen species and no bryophytes were known from the area. In November-December 2018, a survey of terrestrial flora and vegetation was made. The list of lichens was completed for the area, bryophytes were found for the first time, and some terrestrial algae were collected. In total, 23 lichen species, 1 lichenicolous fungus, 1 moss, and 18 terrestrial algae were discovered for the locality. The abundance of each species within their habitats was also evaluated. The lichen flora of the Untersee Oasis is typical for continental oases and similar to other previously investigated internal territories of Dronning Maud Land, except for the very rich lichen flora of the Schirmacher Oasis.

SUMMARY: A green alga belonging to the genus Prasiola, known from terrestrial, marine and freshwater habitats of polar and cold-temperate regions, is recorded for the first time in the Mediterranean Sea. In 2002, during a survey on soft substrata in the Lagoon of Venice (Italy), specimens referable to this genus were found in several areas. The morphological features of thalli are described and their occurrence in the Lagoon of Venice is discussed. Data on associated algal vegetation are also presented. Keywords: green algae, Lagoon of Venice, Mediterranean Sea, Prasiola, phytobenthos RESUMEN: PRIMERA CITA DE UNA ESPECIE DE PRASIOLA (CHLOROPHYTA: PRASIOLACEAE) PARA EL MAR MEDITERRÁNEO (LAGU- NA DE VENECIA).– Un alga verde, perteneciente al género Prasiola conocida de hábitats terrestres, marinos y de agua dulce, se cita por vez primera en el mar Mediterráneo. En 2002, durante un monitoreo en sustratos blandos en la laguna de Venecia (Italia), fueron hallados en diversas áreas especímenes atribuibles a este género. Las características morfológicas de los talos son descritas y se discute su presencia en la laguna de Venecia. Se presentan datos sobre la vegetación algal asociada.
