This paper concludes a collection of contributions presented at the 8th Workshop of the
International Association of Phytoplankton Taxonomy and Ecology. It derives a consensus …

SUMMARY 1 Benthic‐algal distributions in the upper Illinois River basin, IL, USA, were
examined in relation to geology, land use, water chemistry and stream habitat using …

A one year study was carried out in a tropical eutrophic reservoir (Pampulha Reservoir,
Brazil). Species richness and diversity (Shannon–Wiener, H') were measured at two week …

We present a conceptual model for the ecology of the spring snowmelt recession based on
the natural flow regime that relates the quantifiable components of magnitude, timing, and …

Long‐term dynamics of phytoplankton have been addressed in marine and lake systems,
but rarely in rivers. Large rivers, however, are highly human‐impacted, whereas global …

Reservoirs of lowland floodplain rivers with eutrophic backgrounds cause variations in the
hydrological and hydraulic conditions of estuaries and low‐dam reservoir areas, which can …

Benthic diatom investigations of some Hungarian streams have been carried out in order to
find reference sites in assistance to the ecological quality analysis of the different river types …

Classifying benthic diatom taxa based on ecological and morphological features became
increasingly important in recent years due to the demand of understanding the dynamics …

As periphytic diatoms are widely used for biological assessment of rivers, a comparison was
made of the use of information at genus or species levels to test the effects of river regulation …

Desmids are one of the most representative groups of algae in oligo-mesotrophic aquatic
environments. They respond to environmental changes and can be used as indicators of …
