Three species of the genus Synura from China are described here. Morphological observations and molecular phylogenetic analyses were conducted for three specimens collected at different locations in China. The described morphological features include...
A monthly survey of the feeding selectivity of Ruditapes philippinarum in the Yalu River Estuary in 2020–2021 was conducted using high-throughput sequencing identification and visual grading technology. The results showed that the most-dominant...
Fucoxanthin is a natural pigment found in microalgae, especially diatoms and Chrysophyta. Recently, it has been shown to have anti-inflammatory, anti-tumor, and anti-obesityactivity in humans. Phaeodactylum tricornutum is a diatom with high economic...
The study aimed to investigate the physico-chemical properties as well as phytoplankton and bacterial community diversity of Bovan Lake reservoir in Serbia to gain insight into the seasonal dynamic of water quality. All analyses were performed at thr...
The distribution and variation in environmental factors and the phytoplankton community in the Qiongzhou Strait were investigated in autumn 2015 and spring 2016. The environmental factors were different in the two seasons, as seen when using one-way...
Phytoplankton are known as important harbingers of climate change in aquatic ecosystems. This study investigated phytoplankton community structure in the western Pacific Ocean (WPO) in 2017 and revealed the spatial variability of phytoplankton in com...
The oligotrophy of the southern Adriatic Sea is characterized by seasonal stratification which enables nutrient supply to the euphotic layer. A set of interdisciplinary methods was used to elucidate the diversity and co-dependency of bacterio- and ph...
Different sampling techniques were evaluated to assess potential differences in species richness and the abundances of phytoplankton across several lowland aquatic environments. Five sampling methods were used, including a bucket, narrow- and wide-mo...
On a model natural object, the Lake Baikal–Angara River–Irkutsk Reservoir (IR), we studied changes in the qualitative and quantitative characteristics of phytoplankton communities over three seasons in 2023 depending on seasonal changes i...
This study aimed to identify the key factors influencing the phytoplankton development in four lakes on the island of São Miguel (Azores). We used a multivariate analysis of biological parameters (phytoplankton), physicochemical parameters, an...
Phytoplankton are essential indicators of aquatic ecosystem health. Traditional phytoplankton detection methods using microscopy struggle to identify species with small particle sizes or unclear morphological characteristics. In contrast, molecular m...
The South China Sea (SCS) plays an important role in global marine ecology. Studies of phytoplankton diversity promote the sustainable utilization of resources in the SCS. From July to August 2020, the phytoplankton community structure at 47 stations...
In order to determine the characteristics of phytoplankton community structure in Nanhai Lake in Baotou City and its relationship with environmental factors, water and phytoplankton samples were collected and composition and biomass were investigated...
Integrated rice–fish farming, an agricultural practice that combines cultivating rice and breeding fish in the same field, has attracted widespread attention. However, there is limited research on how the rice–carp coculture impacts the c...
Ship ballast water contains high concentration of plankton, bacteria, and other microorganisms. If the huge amount of ballast water is discharged without being inactivated, it will definitely spell disaster to the marine environment. Microalgae is th...
In this study, flow cytometry (FCM) and size-fractionated filtration, together with high-throughput molecular sequencing methods (SM), were used to investigate picophytoplankton. A particle separation filter and a higher-throughput sequencing method...
The river basin of Siversky Donets is of great scientific interest since this river runs through a territory with heavy industry (in particular, coal mining, chemical processing and metal industries). Within the basin, rivers of different sizes were...
