  • The Occurrence of the Green Alga Prododerma Viride (Chlorophyceae) in Michigan
    2017 THE GREAT LAKES BOTANIST 201 THE OCCURRENCE OF THE GREEN ALGA PRODODERMA VIRIDE (CHLOROPHYCEAE) IN MICHIGAN Daniel E. Wujek Department of Biology Central Michigan University Mt. Pleasant, MI 48859 ABSTRACT The epiphytic branched filamentous green alga Protoderma viride is reported from Michigan for the first time. An alga occurring worldwide, its only other report for the Great Lakes region is from Wisconsin. Using light microscopy it was observed from numerous strata from one Upper Peninsula site and several Lower Peninsula locations. INTRODUCTION The widely occurring green algal genus Protoderma K¸tzing has been re - ported from all seven continents and the Pacific Ocean islands (Burova et al. 2011, Guiry 2016). Of the nine species currently accepted taxonomically (six freshwater, three marine; Guiry 2016) only the species Protoderma viride K¸tzing has been reported from as many as six continents, though it is not known from Antarctica. Considering that it is the most widely distributed species of Protoderma (Guiry 2016), it is surprising that it has never been reported from Michigan. The only previous record of its occurrence from the Great Lakes re - gion is from Wisconsin (Prescott 1962). METHODS AND MATERIALS More than 30 samples containing Protoderma viride were collected throughout Michigan over a 32-years period (summer months 1971ñ2002). The environments from which the collections were taken ranged from lotic to lentic and from shaded to bright light. Protoderma viride K¸tzing was found variously on rocks, pebbles, and macrophytes (e.g., Potamogeton spp., Sagittaria spp., Typha latifolia, and Valisneria americana) or other filamentous algae (e.g., Chaetophora spp., Cladophora glomerata, Oedogonium spp., and Rhizoclonium).

  • National Professor A.K.M. Nurul Islam and His Achievements
    National Professor A.K.M. Nurul Islam and his achievements The present Volume 14 of the ‘Bangladesh Journal of Plant Taxonomy’ has been dedicated as a Commemorative Volume to the respected memory of National Professor A.K.M. Nurul Islam (1928-2006). Prof. Nurul Islam is regarded as the ‘Father of Phycology and Limnology’ in Bangladesh for his remarkable leadership and outstanding contributions in these fields of Biological Sciences. He had been associated with the Department of Botany of the University of Dhaka for 54 years as a faculty member till his death. The receipt of National Professorship from the Government of Bangladesh in early 2006 demonstrated the ultimate recognition of his contributions at the national level. He was one of the founder members of ‘Bangladesh Association of Plant Taxonomists’ and was holding the positions of the President of the Association and Chief Editor of its journal the ‘Bangladesh Journal of Plant Taxonomy’ till his demise. In the last issue of the Journal (Volume 13, No. 2, December 2006) we announced the sad departure of Prof. Islam on 1 July 2006. There we briefly touched upon his distinguished career as a teacher, scientist and mentor, and also his dedication and contributions to Botanical research and Science as a whole. Here we are trying to highlight Prof. Islam’s achievements1 registering all his scientific papers; publications he was associated with as an author, editor and contributor; positions he held in different academic institutions and organizations; journals he edited; and awards and honours he received as appreciations of his contributions to Science.
