Diversity Assessment of Lotic Macroalgal Flora by the Application of Taxonomic Distinctness Index

Abstract: Abstract:The main aim of this study was to assess the diversity of four stream algal divisions (Cyanobacteria, Chlorophyta, Ochrophyta and Rhodophyta) by comparing results obtained with taxonomic distinctness index and diversity patterns of previous studies. The data were obtained from a study made in 1000 stream segments in North American biomes. The taxonomic arrangement of the taxa was created from species to division level in order to obtain the taxonomic tree, which is used in taxonomic distinctness index… Show more

“…The present study describes an up to date taxonomic composition of macroalgae and their distribution in 19 sites of the coast of Jalisco, with an evaluation of the taxonomic categories recorded in each locality using the average Taxonomic Distinctness index (Δ + ) and its variation (Λ + ) in order recognize the contribution of each locality to the taxonomic diversity of this region. la comunidad de macroalgas utilizando la distinción taxonómica para medir la variabilidad de la biodiversidad entre localidades mediante el uso de diferencias entre niveles jerárquicos son escasas (e.g., Price at al., 2006;Tonetto et al, 2016).…”
