Sampler collection gadget for epilithic diatoms.

Gadget for epilithic microalgal sampling (GEMS).

Benthic microalgae sampling in lotic systems is carried out using either artificial or natural substrate. Natural substrate is more suitable for biomass and productivity estimates as well as biodiversity assessment because it contains the communities that are typical of the environment. We present a new gadget for epilithic microalgae sampling (GEMS) that allows sampling in situ when it is impo...

Seasonal variations in the epilithic diatoms of Koçan Falls (Erzincan, Turkey)

The present study explores some physical and chemical parameters in the epilithic diatoms in the water samples obtained from two stations in Koçan Falls, Erzincan from March to November 2014. Over the course of the study, 19 taxa of epilithic diatoms were recorded. Diatom genera which had the highest number of species in the study period were Cymbella (4 species), Navicula (4 species), and Cycl...

Epilithic diatoms of settlement of Sivrice district (Hazar Lake/Elazig-Turkey)

In this study, the epilithic diatoms in the samples taken from two stations in Hazar Lake (Elazig-Turkey) between June 2015 and November 2015 were analyzed. In total, 28 taxa belonging to the diatoms were recorded during the study. The diatom taxa Cymbella (6 taxa), Navicula (4 taxa) and Nitzschia (4 taxa) were represented by the most taxa.
