River managers strive to use the best available science to sustain biodiversity and
ecosystem function. To achieve this goal requires consideration of processes at different …

The diatom Didymosphenia geminata is a single‐celled alga found in lakes, streams, and
rivers. Nuisance blooms of D geminata affect the diversity, abundance, and productivity of …

Different components of global change (eg, climate change, land use, pollution, and
introduced species) continue to alter biodiversity worldwide. As northern regions are still …

Recent global spread of the freshwater alga Didymosphenia geminata (Didymo) has caused
major biosecurity and freshwater management concerns. Didymo degrades river esthetics …

The value of distinguishing native from nonnative invasive species has recently been
questioned. However, this dichotomy is important for understanding whether a species' …

La diatomée Didymosphenia geminata (Bacillariophyceae) attire de plus en plus l'attention
comme espèce nocive et envahissante dans les systèmes d'eau douce. Décrite dans le …

The benthic, mat‐forming diatomDidymosphenia geminata has the unique ability to produce
large amounts of algal biomass under oligotrophic conditions in cold, fast flowing streams …

The Lake Champlain basin contains substantially fewer exotic species (N= 48) than the
Great Lakes (N> 180), in part due to its isolation from commercial traffic. Exotic species have …

Unlike other nuisance algal species, the freshwater benthic diatom Didymosphenia
geminata typically forms blooms in low‐nutrient rivers. The negative association between D …

Diatoms are considered unicellular eukaryotic organisms exclusively depositing biogenic
silica. Heretofore there has been no report of calcification by these algae. Here it is shown …
