  • ABSTRACT BISHOP, WEST MICHAEL. a Risk
    ABSTRACT BISHOP, WEST MICHAEL. A Risk-based Decision Information System for Selecting an Algal Management Program. (Under the direction of Dr. Robert J. Richardson). Freshwater resources are a vital component needed to support numerous human activities. Climate change, water use dynamics, and eutrophication have synergistically promoted nuisance and noxious algal blooms throughout the world. The increasing distribution, duration, and intensity of algal blooms has created unprecedented concerns over safety and usability of freshwater. Some of the largest blooms ever documented have occurred in the recent past. This dissertation is designed to provide a framework to assist in 1) understanding risks associated with nuisance algal infestations and 2) comparatively assessing the efficacy, costs, and collateral risks of different management approaches. The management decision framework consists of characterizing dimensions of the problem, identifying management objectives, and applying research to create a strategic management approach that incorporates risks of no action as well as risks associated with different management strategies. By considering information from the research chapters included herein, an accurate assessment of risks can be conducted in terms of the effectiveness and ecological integrity of management approaches. This research should be used to make informed decisions regarding the choice to manage nuisance algae and the selection of an appropriate management approach. © Copyright 2016 West Michael Bishop All Rights Reserved A Risk-based Decision Information System for Selecting an Algal Management Program by West Michael Bishop A dissertation submitted to the Graduate Faculty of North Carolina State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Crop Science Raleigh, North Carolina 2016 APPROVED BY: _______________________________ _______________________________ Dr.

  • Botswana), a Subtropical Flood-Pulsed Wetland
    Biodiversity and Biomass of Algae in the Okavango Delta (Botswana), a Subtropical Flood-Pulsed Wetland Thesis submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy by LUCA MARAZZI University College London Department of Geography University College London December 2014 I, LUCA MARAZZI, confirm that the work presented in this thesis is my own. Where information has been derived from other sources, I confirm that this has been indicated in the thesis. LUCA MARAZZI 2 ABSTRACT In freshwater bodies algae provide key ecosystem services such as food and water purification. This is the first systematic assessment of biodiversity, biomass and distribution patterns of these aquatic primary producers in the Okavango Delta (Botswana), a subtropical flood-pulsed wetland in semiarid Southern Africa. This study delivers the first estimate of algal species and genera richness at the Delta scale; 496 species and 173 genera were observed in 132 samples. A new variety of desmid (Chlorophyta) was discovered, Cosmarium pseudosulcatum var. okavangicum, and species richness estimators suggest that a further few hundred unidentified species likely live in this wetland. Rare species represent 81% of species richness and 30% of total algal biovolume. Species composition is most similar within habitat types, thus varying more significantly at the Delta scale. In seasonally inundated floodplains, algal species / genera richness and diversity are significantly higher than in permanently flooded open water habitats. The annual flood pulse has historically allowed more diverse algal communities to develop and persist in these shallower and warmer environments with higher mean nutrient levels and more substrata and more heterogenous habitats for benthic taxa. These results support the Intermediate Disturbance Hypothesis, Species-Energy Theory and Habitat Heterogeneity Diversity hypotheses.

  • Green Algae and the Origin of Land Plants1
    American Journal of Botany 91(10): 1535±1556. 2004. GREEN ALGAE AND THE ORIGIN OF LAND PLANTS1 LOUISE A. LEWIS2,4 AND RICHARD M. MCCOURT3,4 2Department of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology, University of Connecticut, Storrs, Connecticut 06269 USA; and 3Department of Botany, Academy of Natural Sciences, 1900 Benjamin Franklin Parkway, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania 19103 USA Over the past two decades, molecular phylogenetic data have allowed evaluations of hypotheses on the evolution of green algae based on vegetative morphological and ultrastructural characters. Higher taxa are now generally recognized on the basis of ultrastruc- tural characters. Molecular analyses have mostly employed primarily nuclear small subunit rDNA (18S) and plastid rbcL data, as well as data on intron gain, complete genome sequencing, and mitochondrial sequences. Molecular-based revisions of classi®cation at nearly all levels have occurred, from dismemberment of long-established genera and families into multiple classes, to the circumscription of two major lineages within the green algae. One lineage, the chlorophyte algae or Chlorophyta sensu stricto, comprises most of what are commonly called green algae and includes most members of the grade of putatively ancestral scaly ¯agellates in Prasinophyceae plus members of Ulvophyceae, Trebouxiophyceae, and Chlorophyceae. The other lineage (charophyte algae and embryophyte land plants), comprises at least ®ve monophyletic groups of green algae, plus embryophytes. A recent multigene analysis corroborates a close relationship between Mesostigma (formerly in the Prasinophyceae) and the charophyte algae, although sequence data of the Mesostigma mitochondrial genome analysis places the genus as sister to charophyte and chlorophyte algae. These studies also support Charales as sister to land plants.

  • Functional Groups of Algae in Small Shallow Fishponds

(2020). Functional groups of algae in small shallow fishponds. Bulg. J. Agric. Sci., 26 (3): 680–689 This study aims to analyze the seasonal changes of dominant algae in shallow fishponds by implementing for the first time in the country the concept of functional groups proposed by Reynolds et al., (2002). One hundred seventy-two taxa classified into 22 functional groups have been identified. With the largest number of species are the codons: J, X1, MP, F, Lo and W1. Re- sults from the applied cluster analysis show that algae are grouped into four clusters. The first one consists of two homogeneous subclusters, one of which includes dominant green algae and the other – the most common cyanoprokaryotes. The second clus- ter consists of species with different taxonomic and functional attributes that occur throughout the whole period without strict seasonal preferences. Some taxa with large intergroup distances are differentiated into a third cluster. The fourth cluster is also heterogeneous and it consists of different functional groups. The obtained data show that this ecological approach completely tailored to the characteristics and specifics of artificial fishponds would be appropriate in the study of ecology and seasonal changes of dominant algae species.
