Phytoplankton community dynamics in response to seawater intrusion in a tropical macrotidal river-estuary continuum

A. K. D. S. Sa et al.

Summary: This study investigated the effects of seawater intrusion on the phytoplankton community in the Itapecuru River estuary and found that seawater intrusion caused changes in species composition, density, diversity, and biomass. Suspended particulate matter, salinity, cell size, and silicate were identified as important factors influencing the distribution of phytoplankton.

Phytoplankton community structure is governed by salinity gradient and nutrient composition in the tropical estuarine system

M. D. Bharathi et al.

Summary: This study investigates the impact of salinity and hydrological characteristics on phytoplankton community structure in tropical estuaries. The results show that the lower estuarine region is dominated by diatoms, while the upper estuarine region has higher phytoplankton biomass/abundance and more diverse taxa. Phytoplankton abundance is primarily governed by light availability and grazing pressure, while variations in nutrient concentrations and salinity influence phytoplankton community structure.

Asterionellopsis glacialis (Family: Fragilariaceae, Class: Bacillariophyceae, Phylum: Ochrophyta) bloom and its impact on plankton dynamics at Kalpakkam (Bay of Bengal, Southeast coast of India)

Gouri Sahu et al.

Summary: An intense bloom of Asterionellopsis glacialis was observed in the near-shore waters at Kalpakkam, Tamil Nadu. The bloom was supported by favorable environmental conditions and was found to have significant effects on plankton dynamics. The dominance of certain planktonic species during the bloom period and the availability of fish eggs and larvae were notable findings of the study.

Drivers of phytoplankton biomass and diversity in a macrotidal bay of the Amazon Mangrove Coast, a Ramsar site

Summary: Phytoplankton diversity and biomass were analyzed in Cuma Bay of the Amazon Macrotidal Mangrove Coast. The study found that rainfall, wind speed, salinity, light availability, and nutrients were the main controlling factors for phytoplankton diversity and richness.

Chain or sphere? Perspectives on colony shapes and sizes in microalgae

Xiaodong Wang et al.

Summary: This study discusses the ways in which some microalgal species form colonies and the impact of colony formation on their ecological roles. Chain formation allows for rapid increase in collective length to fend off predators, while spherical colonies are difficult to manipulate and lead to nutrient limitation and inadequate irradiance within the colony.

Morphology, ecology and geographic distribution of three Mallomonas (Phylum Ochrophyta) species from the Vaal River, South Africa

Sanet Janse van Vuuren et al.

Summary: This paper reports the presence of three Mallomonas species in the Vaal River, South Africa. The accurate identification of the species was achieved through scanning electron microscope observations and analysis of the water's physico-chemistry. The findings include the first record of M. corymbosa in Africa and the extension of the climatic preferences of M. kenyana to temperate regions in South Africa.

Functional rather than taxonomic diversity reveals changes in the phytoplankton community of a large dammed river

Caio Graco-Roza et al.

Summary: River damming did not affect species dispersal, while functional turnover was low, mainly occurring among functionally similar species. After a dam, there was a significant reduction in phytoplankton diversity, but flow regulation allowed flagellated and mucilaginous species to colonize the dammed areas.

Biodiversity Loss Threatens the Current Functional Similarity of Beta Diversity in Benthic Diatom Communities

Leena Virta et al.

Summary: The study found that taxonomic beta diversity of diatom communities in an estuary was high and strongly controlled by environmental factors, while functional beta diversity was low and less affected by the environment. Despite large changes in species composition and environment, the diatom communities remained functionally similar. However, simulated species loss significantly decreased functional similarity, suggesting that decreasing species richness may reduce the stability and resilience of communities.

Homogenization of diatom assemblages is driven by eutrophication in tropical reservoirs*

Stefano Zorzal-Almeida et al.

Summary: Eutrophication leads to biotic homogenization in tropical reservoirs, with an increase in total beta diversity, no change in turnover with eutrophication, but a positive relationship between nutrient enrichment and the nestedness component.

A trait-based approach predicting community assembly and dominance of microbial invasive species

Carla Kruk et al.

Summary: Understanding the mechanisms underlying community assembly is essential in defining the success and susceptibility of biological invasions. By exploring phytoplankton community assembly through niche and neutral paradigms using a trait-based approach, it was predicted that invading species can dominate by utilizing unexploited niches or exhibiting higher fitness due to specific trait combinations. This trait-based approach proved useful in evaluating community assembly and predicting microbial species invasions.

Phytoplankton community in a tropical estuarine gradient after an exceptional harmful bloom of Akashiwo sanguinea (Dinophyceae) in the Todos os Santos Bay

Helen Michelle de Jesus Affe et al.

Summary: This study evaluated variations in the composition and abundance of the phytoplankton community in Todos os Santos Bay after a harmful bloom of Akashiwo sanguinea. Despite the oligotrophic environment, short-term fluctuations in phytoplankton community structure and composition were observed, especially during the rainy season. Blooms did not have significant effects on the water column or the system.

Algal blooms and trophic state in a tropical estuary blocked by a dam (northeastern Brazil)

Ana Karoline Duarte dos Santos Sa et al.

Summary: This study reports on phytoplankton blooms and trophic state at Bacanga River Estuary, revealing it to be in a hypereutrophic state. While TSI shows significant relationship with specific phytoplankton blooms, it seems to be the trophic index with a better response in evaluating estuarine ecological functioning.
