The microbial plankton of Lake Fryxell, southern Victoria Land, Antarctica during the summers of 1992 and 1994 The microbial plankton of Lake Fryxell, southern Victoria Land, Antarctica during the summers of 1992 and 1994
Samples collected from Lake Fryxell, southern Victoria Land, Antarctica in January 1992 and 1994 were analysed for the abundance of bacterioplankton and the diversity and abundance of protistan plankton. At the times of sampling, 14 ciliate species and 10 species of autotrophic flagellate were recorded. The samples contained two species of rotifer (Philodina spp.), which formed the first...

Taxonomy and distribution of the genus Muelleria frenguelli Taxonomy and distribution of the genus Muelleria frenguelli
Navicula gibbula Cleve and its allies have a number of morphological characters which are visible under the light microscope and distinguish them from taxa included in Navicula Bory sensu stricto. These include proximal raphe ends which are sharply and unilaterally hooked and often extend beyond the central area, as well as two apparently thickened longitudinal ribs which extend the...

Winter phytoplankton dynamics in a subalpine lake, Colorado, U.S.A Winter phytoplankton dynamics in a subalpine lake, Colorado, U.S.A
The temporal dynamics of phytoplankton were examined in The Loch, a subalpine lake in Rocky Mountain National Park, over the winter seasons of 1987-88 and 1988-89. The Loch was ice-covered from early November until early to mid May. The pattern of phytoplankton biovolume during ice-cover was consistent between the two years with maxima occurring in November/December and February/March...

Phytoplankton dynamics in three Rocky Mountain lakes, Colorado, USA Phytoplankton dynamics in three Rocky Mountain lakes, Colorado, USA
In 1984 and 1985 seasonal changes in phytoplankton were studied in a system of three lakes in Loch Vale, Rocky Mountain National Park, Colorado. Three periods were evident: (1) A spring bloom, during snowmelt, of the planktonic diatom Asterionella formosa, (2) a mid-summer period of minimal algal abundance, and (3) a fall bloom of the blue-green alga Oscillatoria limnetica. Seasonal...
