“…Regarding to existence of the species in Turkish inland waters, Cymbella lanceolata, C. tumida, Cymbopleura amphicephala, Encyonema auerswaldii, E. minutum, E. prostratum, E. silesiacum and Encyonopsis microcephala were "common species" while, Encyonema ventricosum and Reimeria uniseriata were "rare species" in the waters (Solak et al 2012b, Gönülol 2016 (Bey & Ector 2013) and the species was also recorded newly for diatom flora of Serbia (Vidaković et al 2016). R. ovata occurs rarely in oligotrophic cold water (Levkov & Ector 2010).…”

Diatoms are mostly characterized by their siliceous bipartite cell walls, forming a frustule. Diatoms are one of important groups for monitoring in lentic and lotic systems. Cymbelloid diatoms are one of the highest diversity in Turkish inland waters. In this study, the samples were collected from 25 stations from different habitats (epilithic, epipelic and epiphytic) in Yalova. As a result, 19 taxa belonging to the genera Cymbella, Cymbopleura, Encyonema, Encyonopsis and Reimeria were found in the study area and Cymbella excisa, Encyonema reichardtii, Encyonopsis minuta, E. subminuta and Reimeria ovata were recorded as "new record" for Turkish freshwater diatom flora.

“…Considering phytobentic algal diversity overview, we will stay with peat bogs, i.e. the Pešter peat bog, for which Vidaković et al [85] provided the most recent report on diatoms diversity, not only in benthos but also epiphyton and plankton. These authors reported extraordinary diatom taxa richness of the Pešter peat bog, in total 250 diatom species from 53 genera and 45 new taxa for Serbian diatom flora.…”

The shallow aquatic ecosystems of Serbia are treasuries of algal biodiversity, unfairly neglected in both scientific studies and legislation concerning species and habitat protection. Underestimating the algal diversity in these ecosystems derives primarily from poor knowledge and/or interest in algal taxonomy and phylogeny, as well as ignorance of their role in the maintenance of ecosystem equilibrium and in the bioindication of water quality. The issue of conserving algae (i.e. their habitats) is challenging due to many aspects, including the problematic biogeography concept (particularly for microalgae), low taxonomic resolution of available data, and undersampling. Still, progress in the conservation of algae is noticeable worldwide. Although macroalgae are mainly recognized as endangered and protected species, they are still overlooked in conservation management in Serbia. Simultaneously, the data on microalgal diversity in shallow and small water bodies are scarce and sporadic. There are no long term monitoring programs towards recognizing the remarkable algal diversity characteristic for these habitats. This chapter offers an overview of the biodiversity of algae-both microscopic and macroscopic in shallow and small water bodies of Serbia, along with the frame and guidelines for protecting algae and their habitats.

“…Diatoms are one of the most ubiquitous and diverse photosynthetic microorganisms in aquatic ecosystems [27] and one of the most widely represented algal groups in peat bogs (e.g., [28][29][30][31][32]). The diversity of diatoms in the peatlands of Europe is very high, with around 403 recorded taxa, and a majority representation of the genera Pinnularia (14%), Eunotia (10%), and Navicula (10%), with respect to the total number of taxa [28,29,[32][33][34][35][36][37][38][39][40][41][42][43][44][45][46][47][48][49][50], and with similar species numbers and compositions to those found in peatlands in other regions of the world due to the cosmopolitan nature of diatom species (e.g., [30,31,51,52]). However, knowledge about the ecology of diatom communities in peatlands is still insufficient compared with other types of wetlands [25].…”

The great diversity of diatoms in aquatic ecosystems and their close relationship with water chemistry make them one of the most informative and widely used biological proxies in paleoenvironmental studies of wetlands, except for peatland ecosystems. Currently, significant controversy still exists over the preservation of diatoms in peat. However, considerable evidence indicates that diatoms remain in good condition in minerotrophic peatlands, and they have been successfully used in paleoenvironmental studies in high-latitude regions and especially in Southern Europe.
