Freshwater red algae are presently classified into five classes based on recent molecular phylogenetic and supporting morphological analyses: Bangiophyceae, Compsopogonophyceae, Florideophyceae, Porphyridiophyceae, and ...

Understanding how local and regional environmental factors influence species richness remains a key issue in ecology. Green algae (Chlorophyta) are a diverse and widely occurring group, which may be a good model for studying ...

Landscape properties must be considered in the interpretation of ecological patterns of stream macroalgal communities. In this study, we sampled streams with different types of riparian cover from two biomes (highland ...

Streambeds are abundantly colonized by benthic algal assemblages. Environmental factors are the most assessed to find out predictable correlations between algal presence and habitat conditions, but biological interactions ...

Although macroalgae are considered one of the most important primary producers in streams, to our knowledge there has been no research on the effects of herbicides on these organisms. Such studies are crucial for improving ...

In 16 sampling points, which were located in 14 streams of the middle and high basin of the Bogotá River (2.617 - 2.988 m), we analyzed some physical, chemical and hydrological variables and the benthic algae community ...

The aim of this study was to describe the colonization of the biofilm during its early stages under different concentrations of nutrients and organic matter, specifically in urban streams influenced by agriculture and ...

Microhabitat distribution was investigated in three populations of C. coeruleus to determine the distributional patterns and their controlling factors, as well as morphometric adaptations to varying conditions on a scale ...
