Abstract: | A detailed qualitative investigation of the desmid community in the territory of the Province of Vojvodina (Northern Serbia,
part of the Pannonian Plain) revealed a surprisingly high number of desmid taxa. Although most of the desmids were marked
as rare, according to the results of physico-chemical analyses of water samples, several taxa were frequently recorded in
habitats that are generally deemed unsuitable for desmids. The ecological characteristics of 18 desmid taxa, some of which
known as acidophilic and/or oligotrophic, are briefly discussed. The unexpected presence of many desmid taxa is explained
by assuming that their tolerance threshold to various physico-chemical parameters has changed considerably.
Presented at the International Symposium Biology and Taxonomy of Green Algae V, Smolenice, June 26–29, 2007, Slovakia. |
