Differentiation of Diatom Guilds in Extreme Environments in the Andean Altiplano

Inger Heine-Fuster et al.

Summary: The Andean Altiplano is characterized by its isolation, high altitude, and unique biodiversity, with two salt flats, Carcote and Ascotan, showing significant differences in ecological variables due to human intervention. Motile diatoms play a key role in maintaining the diatom community in these salt flats, being more sensitive to local conditions and showing greater diversity and richness in the less disturbed salt flat, Carcote. Beta diversity is mainly explained by turnover rather than nestedness, with a more heterogeneous community observed in the salt flat with historical brine mining activities, Ascotan.

Sellaphora pelagonica (Bacillariophyceae), a new species from dystrophic ponds in the Republic of North Macedonia

Hristina Kochoska et al.

Summary: Lowland intermittent ponds are biologically important but understudied water habitats. A new diatom species, Sellaphora pelagonica sp. nov., was discovered and described in two lowland ponds in the Republic of North Macedonia, with its characteristics compared to similar taxa currently assigned to Sellaphora.

The influence of drought on diatom assemblages in a temperate climate zone: A case study from the Carpathian Mountains, Poland

Lukasz Peszek et al.

Summary: The research showed that drought had a significant impact on the composition of diatom communities and water quality assessment indices, particularly in smaller watercourses. Drought resulted in a significant increase in motile and terrestrial species within diatom communities, as well as an increase in the biodiversity of benthic diatoms.

Drivers of Macrophyte and Diatom Diversity in a Shallow Hypertrophic Lake

Katerina Sumberova et al.

Summary: This study investigated macrophyte and diatom assemblages and environmental factors in a large hypertrophic fishpond in Southern Bohemia, Czech Republic. Water level fluctuations and distance from large inflows were identified as key factors shaping the structure of diatom and macrophyte assemblages. The findings may serve as a basis for predictive model constructions in similar water bodies facing climate change.
