We hypothesized that different diatom functional guilds (high-profile, low-profile, motile and planktic) would respond differently to environmental and spatial variables, depending on their mode of attachment and dispersal ability. Guilds showed distinct distributional patterns along a gradient of wave-induced disturbance: low-profile diatoms dominated in exposed shorelines (high disturbance), whereas high-profile and motile diatoms were more abundant in coastal wetlands (low disturbance). Redundancy analysis with variation partitioning of the entire diatom community revealed that environmental variables (littoral geomorphology and water chemistry) outperformed spatial variables, indicating a predominant role of species sorting. When the diatom community was deconstructed into functional groups, benthic guilds (i.e., low-profile, high-profile and motile) showed higher dependence on environmental factors, whereas the planktic guild was primarily predicted by spatial factors. Thus, benthic taxa with lower dispersal abilities were less impacted by mass effects than planktic taxa. Among benthic guilds, motile diatoms were less sensitive to water chemistry compared to low-profile and high-profile diatoms, suggesting that a group-specific habitat preference may interfere with diatom responses to water quality changes. Hence, the response of diatom guilds to water quality parameters was related to their resistance to wave action. Overall, we concluded that the higher importance of environmental filtering than dispersal-related processes in shaping the diatom metacommunity resulted from a combination of a strong environmental gradient in geomorphology/water chemistry and the intermediate spatial scale of our study.

Using functional trait-based and Reynolds’ functional group-based approaches similarities of the microalgal flora of all aquatic habitats occurring in Hungary were compared. The habitats covered the whole size spectrum of standing waters (10-2–108m2) and water currents (watershed: 102–1011m2), , limnological and chemical properties. Both functional trait-based and functional group-based habitat classifications overrode the hydromorphology-based typology, however, functional group-based clusters showed closer resemblance to limnological-hydromorphological types than clusters created by trait-based approaches both for qualitative and quantitative data. Most of the aquatic habitats that have similar limnological characteristics showed resemblance in the functional properties of their microflora. Rivers and river-related habitats were the most diverse functionally. These were followed by standing waters with extended macrophyte coverage. The small, unique habitats displayed the lowest functional richness. The occurrence of several functional groups in some extreme habitats implies two alternative explanations: first, the habitat template of the groups is wider than defined in the original description; second, detailed information on the autecology of species assigned to a functional group necessitates the creation of new groups specific for the unique habitats.

Surirella tientsinensis Skvortzov emend. Liu was regarded as an Asian endemic species practically from its description until the second decade of the 21st century. Here we present the first Hungarian occurrence of the taxon from 2021, which is the second record for Europe, aft er the previously published Ukrainian data. In 2022 Surirella tientsinensis was detected from two other Hungarian river sampling localities. Due to the unmistakable outlook of the species, probably it is a new member of the Hungarian diatom flora, and its parallel occurrences in some localities within a short time, is noteworthy.

A kísérleti berendezés mobil kivitelű, és alkalmas különböző szennyezettségű vizek tisztítására. Bemutatjuk a kavitáció hatását különböző mikroszkopikus méretű élőlényekre. Először egy hígított zöldalgatenyészetet vizsgáltunk, megállapítottuk, hogy 16–32 perces kavitáció több mint 10–20%-kalcsökkenti a klorofillkoncentrációt és az ép sejtek arányát. Biológiailag bontható szennyvízzel kevert algás halastóvízben, kavitáció hatására a cianobaktériumok, ostoros algák mennyisége 40–80%-kalcsökkent, a zöldalgáknál minimális volt a csökkenés. Ezeknél a méréseknél síkszelepes, nagynyomású kavitációgenerátort alkalmaztunk. Bizonyítottuk,hogy a hajók ballasztvize és a szennyvizek mikrobiótája mennyiségének csökkentésére a kavitációs vízkezelés ígéretes megoldásnak tekinthető, de figyelemmel kell lenni arra, hogy csak elpusztul a mikrobióta, de nem tűnik el a vízből.

When comparing data obtained with microscopy and metabarcoding, significant deviations have been noticed. One of the main reasons includes the incompleteness of the reference database used for taxonomic annotation of sequences. The database library should be complemented with species inhabiting unique habitats and having specific environmental requirements representing environmental endpoints for genetic diversification. Soda pans and soda lakes are examples of an extreme habitat with the loss of sodic character as the main threat; thus, accurate identification of species and exact information on their salinity tolerance is essential for adequate ecological status assessment. In the present study, by using microscopy and metabarcoding, we investigated taxa of the genus Halamphora that are common in soda pans and soda lakes. We detected six species of which Halamphora dominici and H. veneta occurred frequently and often in high abundance (it was often dominant having relative abundance higher than 5%). Analyses of DNA data confirmed the separation of the two species; as a result, the reference database library has been supplemented with sequences of H. dominici . Furthermore, we have confirmed that this species, which is a significant indicator of sodic character, shows a positive correlation with salinity.

To determine whether this population matches a previously recognized species from Lake Baikal and assess how it differs from other similar Fragilaria taxa, we studied the valve morphology of three morphologically similar Fragilaria populations (the putative F. sublanceolata-baikali, F. pectinalis and F. perminuta) sampled in Lake Ladoga, along with a population of F. sublanceolata-baikali sampled in Lake Baikal. We used light and scanning electron microscopy with a combination of traditional and geometric morphometric methods. To analyze covariation between the valve shape and size (i.e., allometry), we examined differences in the ontogenetic–allometric trajectories at both the interspecific and intraspecific levels. In addition, the effect of size correction of the valve shape on species differentiation was tested. Traditional morphometrics revealed that F. sublanceolata-baikali is distinguished from F. pectinalis and F. perminuta by valve length, while F. pectinalis and F. perminuta are distinguished by striae density. All three species of Fragilaria showed separate and parallel allometric trajectories. In contrast, the two populations of F. sublanceolata-baikali were on a common allometric trajectory, indicating the conspecificity between these populations. Prior to allometric correction, geometric morphometrics was not able fully discriminate between the three Fragilaria species. After allometric correction, the three Fragilaria species were clearly separated in a size-corrected morphospace, whereas the two populations of F. sublanceolata-baikali formed a tightly overlapping group. Thus, we conclude that geometric morphometrics can reliably distinguish between these morphologically similar species of Fragilaria, but only after accounting for allometric shape variation. Our study confirmed morphological similarity between the two geographically distant populations of F. sublanceolata-baikali, which indicates that this taxon can be considered as invasive in Lake Ladoga.

While the extinction of macroscopic organisms has been well documented in both the scientific literature and the public media, we have only limited knowledge on the loss of microscopic elements of the ecosystems. Since rarity coincides with the increased risk of extinction, we investigated the commonness and rarity of microalgae in the Pannonian ecoregion. We reviewed the published literature of microalgal research in Hungary over the last 140 years and created a species-by-site matrix containing 2489 algae species and 1145 localities. Analysing this dataset, we found that although the core-satellite hypothesis suggests a bimodal site occupancy distribution, microalgae displayed a unimodal pattern with high number of rarely occurring species. We also demonstrated that the well-known negative relationship between the body size of organisms and the number of occupied habitats also holds for microalgae. Rarity values of taxa have a phylogenetic signal indicating that in terms of rarity, closely related species (desmids, dinoflagellates, euglenophytes) show considerable similarities. The various habitat types showed differences in the number of rare taxa. Small and medium-sized habitats (bog lakes, streams, oxbows) hosted the majority of rare species. These results highlight the conservation importance of small habitats in preserving microbial diversity. LA - English DB - MTMT ER -
