“…Nevertheless, this taxon is usually dominant in oligotrophic waters, while its relative abundance significantly reduced in eutrophic waters (KELLY et al, 2007). The dominance of this taxon in our study is expected and confirms the good ecological status of the Vrla River (JAKOVLJEVIĆ et al, 2016). G. elegantissimum is a taxon characteristic of oligo-to weakly eutrophic running water with a carbonate base (LANGE- BERTALOT et al, 2017).…”

“…N. soratensis, which occured as a dominant taxon in spring, has so far recorded only in fresh water with low temperature and pH > 8 (TROBAJO et al, 2012). However, our study showed this is not always the case, since this species was dominant at sites VR4 and VR5 in May 2012 (Table 1) where moderate temperature and pH < 8 were measured (JAKOVLJEVIĆ et al, 2016).…”

Seasonal analysis of epilithic diatom community from the Vrla River was performed in four seasons a year (six times) at six sampling sites. Between the second (VR2) and the third sampling site (VR3) was located a trout fish farm. The highest number of diatom taxa was recorded in spring (149) and the lowest in autumn (93). The number of taxa that were found to be dominant during all four seasons was twenty-four. The relationship between 45 the best-fitted diatom taxa, which showed conspicuous seasonal dynamics, and seasons in which these taxa were recorded was illustrated using canonical correspondence analysis (CCA). The large number of taxa was identified in all four seasons or in winter period only. Few taxa were present only in spring and summer.

“…Our results of IPS diatom index showed worst ecological status classess than CEE diatom index. Many authors claim that IPS index is more trustworthy for ecological status assessment, comparing to the CEE index (VIDAKOVIĆ, 2013;VASILJEVIĆ et al, 2014VASILJEVIĆ et al, , 2016VASILJEVIĆ et al, , 2017JAKOVLJEVIĆ et al, 2016aJAKOVLJEVIĆ et al, , 2016bPREDOJEVIĆ, 2017;VASILJEVIĆ, 2017), primarily because it principally integrates most identified diatom species in contrast to CEE index. According to the National Regulation (ANONYMOUS, 2011b), there are no difference in the boundary values between classes for the CEE index for water body types, so changing its boundary values is suggested (VASILJEVIĆ, 2017).…”

The Samokovska River, as the most important watercourse of the Kopaonik National Park, has been poorly investigated from algological and water quality aspects. This river is not covered by the monitoring program of the Serbian Environmental Protection Agency routine. Our research performed in October 2018 aimed to present an algal diversity, ecological status assessment, and negative anthropogenic impacts threatening this river. For ecological status assessment purposes, the diatom indices phytobenthos and physico-chemical parameters of water were used. The typology and the problem of reliable assessing of the ecological status were also discussed on the example of the Samokovska River.

“…The algal components of communities generally include many diatom representatives. Unlike freshwater diatoms, which have been better studied in Serbia [6][7][8][9], data regarding aerophytic species remain scarce.…”

Phototrophic microorganisms can be found in biofilms at entrances to caves where they have access to sufficient sunlight, water and nutrients; however, they can also be found inside caves, where they are carried by animals and people, and can proliferate in the presence of artificial light. Although the genus Humidophila includes some well-known cosmopolitan species, further exploration of its rare, insufficiently investigated representatives in different geographical areas and unusual habitats is necessary. Caves remain unknown, little-explored habitats, and many species currently known to science were recorded for the first time. This study aimed to report species belonging to the genus Humidophila that were identified in 19 caves in Serbia. A total of ten species of this genus were recorded and some of them are documented for the first time in Serbia. The most abundant species were H. contenta (found in 16 caves), H. paracontenta, and H. aerophila (found in 13 caves), whereas H. pyrenaica was identified in only one cave. The rare species, H. brekkaensoides and H. vidalii, were also documented and described, but with different dimensions from those provided in current identification keys.

Benthic diatoms of the Vrla River (Serbia) and their application in the water ecological status assessment

Abstract: Epilithic diatoms from the Vrla River (Serbia) have been used to assess the ecological status of water. A total of 227 diatom taxa belonging to 50 genera were identified in the Vrla River during six research seasons with 13 dominant species recorded.
