Genus-level, trait-based multimetric diatom indices for assessing the ecological condition of rivers and streams across the conterminous United States

Luisa Riato et al.

Summary: This study developed diatom multimetric indices (MMIs) for assessing ecological condition using genus-level taxonomy and trait-based autecological information. The trait-based approach eliminates taxonomic biases and allows for large-scale assessments. The MMIs performed well in discriminating least-disturbed from most-disturbed sites, and could be used for retrospective assessments and in programs with limited monitoring resources.

Taxonomic bias in freshwater phytoplankton communities and its effect on environmental assessment metrics

Katya E. Kovalenko et al.

Summary: Taxonomic opinion bias is a common issue in ecological studies of highly diverse organisms. This study used long-term phytoplankton data to evaluate the effects of taxonomic bias on ecological metrics and found that several important indicators were mostly unaffected. This provides recommendations for acceptable levels of taxonomic bias.

A harmonized dataset of sediment diatoms from hundreds of lakes in the northeastern United States

Marina G. Potapova et al.

Summary: This study used a harmonization process to merge five datasets of lake sediment diatoms from the Northeastern USA. By updating synonyms, resolving inconsistently identified taxa, and grouping unresolved taxa, the study improved the explanation of environmental variables and reduced the impact of taxonomic inconsistency.

Diatoms.org: supporting taxonomists, connecting communities

Sarah A. Spaulding et al.

Summary: Consistent identification of diatoms is crucial for their study, but achieving taxonomic consistency among observers is challenging. Developing a content creation community dedicated to providing free taxonomic, ecological, and image-based data can help address these issues and benefit diatom researchers.

Variability in periphyton community and biomass over 37 years in Lake Tahoe (CA-NV)

Karen S. Atkins et al.

Summary: Nuisance periphyton blooms are occurring in oligotrophic lakes worldwide, but long-term monitoring in Lake Tahoe has shown that the periphyton biomass has not increased lake-wide. Instead, biomass has decreased at many sites and increased at one. Biomass peaks in March and is lower in the summer, with higher levels on the northern and western shores compared to the eastern and southern shores. Lake level fluctuations also affect biomass levels.

Blue Waters, Green Bottoms: Benthic Filamentous Algal Blooms Are an Emerging Threat to Clear Lakes Worldwide

Yvonne Vadeboncoeur et al.

Summary: Nearshore habitats of deep lakes with high water quality are facing increased occurrences of filamentous algal blooms, posing potential threats to lake water quality and ecosystem. Coordinated efforts among the public, managers, and scientists are needed to study this phenomenon and take effective measures to protect lake ecosystems.
