Advances in Phycological Studies: Festschrift in Honour of Prof. Dobrina Temniskova-Topalova
Ognjanova-Rumenova, N Manoylov, K (ED)
The Festschrift to honour Prof. Dobrina Temniskova-Topalova's 70th birthday includes articles by some of her current and former students, colleagues, collaborators, and friends over the years. The volume is a collection of 25 research articles on different aspects of phycology and is intended to reflect her versatile academic interests and areas of expertise. The topics covered by the papers include taxonomy, palaeoecology, physiology, and ecology of different algal groups. Some articles describe new taxa from fossil and recent materials of Europe, Asia and North America: a new genus Hyalosigma, fourteen new diatom species, and one new combination. Important patterns of the morphological evolution in extinct diatom genera of family Stephanodiscaceae in Lake Baikal are discussed. New floristic and taxonomic information on the distribution of the endemic Chara corfuensis J. Gr. ex Fil. and the tropical Compsopogon coeruleus (Balbis) Montagne is provided.
Research on various biostratigraphical and palaeoecological marine and lacustrine basins, based on diatoms and dinoflagellate cysts, is presented. More specialized topics like uniparental auxosporulation are presented also. Careful analyses of the infection process in the green microalga pathosystem and an unicellular fungal parasite are discussed. A substantial group of articles focuses on the ecology of freshwater diatoms - redefinition of their importance in bioassessment, density and nutrient dependence of diatoms, and the use of new analytical methods like nonparametric multiplicative regression modeling.
The book is addressed to specialists and students interested in taxonomy, ecology, physiology, biostratigraphy and palaeoecology of algae.
