“…According to the new taxonomic classification [12], they were classified into 85 genera, 28 families and 8 orders. In the flora of cyanobacteria of Serbia published in 1996 [19], the summarized data indicate that 154 taxa have been recorded in waterbodies related to this research, while regarding the findings of later scientific studies, 120 more taxa could be added to that list. Thus, this number has almost doubled through later scientific research.…”

“…Along with the data obtained from analysis of the samples from the selected waterbodies, literature data summarized in previously published studies [19,36] were used to create a list of cyanobacteria in waterbodies that are of interest for water supply and/or recreation. The research related to the distribution of cyanobacteria included only freshwater ecosystems linked to water supply and/or recreational activities (lakes, rivers, reservoirs, wetlands, etc.).…”

“…Many countries in the region have been updating their checklists of cyanobacteria, such as the Czech Republic [17] and Greece [18]. The last study concerning cyanobacterial flora in the Republic of Serbia was published more than two decades ago [19]. Since then, studies on cyanobacteria were mostly related to individual waterbodies [20][21][22][23][24][25][26][27] or specifically focused on bloom-forming and potentially toxic taxa [28,29].…”

Herein we provide an assessment of cyanobacterial diversity and habitat preferences of potentially toxic and alien taxa, which could be an important tool for human health risk assessment regarding recreational and water-supply waterbodies. The diversity changes of cyanobacteria in waters intended for human consumption in Serbia were analyzed two decades after the first floristic study was published. The examination included phytoplankton and phytobenthic sample analysis from 35 localities in the period between 2012 and 2017, together with published literature records. The results indicate that the number of identified taxa doubled since the first Serbian Flora of Cyanobacteria was released two decades ago. The changes most likely occurred due to environmental factors, including hydrological transformations of habitats, cultural eutrophication and global warming. Many frequently recorded taxa are potentially toxic and bloom-forming. The spread of alien species with potentially invasive characteristics has also been noted. Canonical correspondence analysis (CCA) indicates that shallow waterbodies are the most vulnerable regarding the occurrence and expansion of bloom-forming, potentially toxic and invasive taxa. This shows the urgent need for a more detailed investigation. Additionally, although most of the research was focused on planktonic forms, benthic cyanobacteria represent an important component for public health risk assessment and therefore should be more frequently investigated.

“…Thus, red alga Audouinella chalybea is an indicator of oligosaprobic water, with low taxon indicator weight (SLÁDEČEK, 1973;PÁL, 1998). In Serbia, the species was found in oligosaprobic, but also in ß-mesosaprobic waters (CVIJAN and BLAŽENČIĆ, 1986;CVIJAN, 2002;CVIJAN et al, 2003;SIMIĆ et al, 2016). Cyanobacteria Microcoleus favosus and green alga Cladophora glomerata are an indicator of ß-mesosaprobic water, whereby M. favosum possess a high and C. glomerata a low taxon indicator weight (SLÁDEČEK, 1973;PÁL, 1998).…”

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 majority of freshwater red algal studies have focused on northern and central Europe (e.g. Starmach 1977;Sieminska 1992;Athanasiadis 1996;Kucera & Marvan 2004;Gutowski et al 2004;Kostkevičienė & Laučiūtė 2005;Eloranta & Kwandrans 2007;Eloranta 2019), with only a few studies conducted in the Mediterranean Basin (Reis 1974;Sabater et al 1989;Simic & Rankovic 1998;Cvijan 2002;Ceschi et al 2012;García-Fernández et al 2015). A recent checklist of freshwater rhodophytes for the Iberian Peninsula showed this region to have a large number of taxa, many of which are in the Batrachospermales (Chapuis et al 2014).…”

Fifty-four streams of the Iberian Peninsula were investigated to document the species richness and phylogeny of Batrachospermum and morphologically similar genera, determine phylogenetic affinities of taxa and infer biogeographic trends. Species were identified using morphology and DNA sequence data for the rbcL gene as follows: Batrachospermum gelatinosum, B. pozoazulense, Paludicola keratophyta, Sheathia arcuata, S. boryana, S. confusa, Torularia atra, Virescentia helminthosa, V. vogesiaca, and Volatus carrionii. Batrachospermum gelatinosum and S. boryana were most frequent (sampled from 16 and 11 streams, respectively). Torularia atra and V. vogesiaca were each collected in a single stream, whereas the other five taxa were present in three to six streams. Virescentia vogesiaca is well known from other parts of Europe but had previously not been reported from the Iberian Peninsula. Biogeographic trends based on DNA sequence data show a flora with most species being well represented in parts of Europe, two taxa (B. gelatinosum and V. carrionii) that are shared between Europe and North America, one between Europe and South America (Paludicola keratophyta) and one cosmopolitan species (T. atra). Previous studies reported twelve taxa in the region using current taxonomy. This study has confirmed seven of these taxa with sequence data and morphology.
