“…Algal diversity conservation in the system of natural ecosystems protection has been promoted and more recognized lately [121]. With reference to Juran and Kaštovsky [122], in the review on algae diversity in SSWB in Serbia, we aimed to highlight the need for algal biodiversity protection. We propose that habitat protection should be considered synonymous for species conservation.…”

“…Besides regarding biodiversity and genetic resources conservation, the importance of algae protection in the small and shallow habitats relies also on their biondication capacities in the habitat quality evaluation as well as on the basic and crucial role in ecosystem services provision. Juran and Kaštovsky [122] provided the most recent and relevant review on overall progress made in the field of conservation and protection of algae. They are particularly reviewing the published Red Lists across Europe, focusing on microalgae that were mostly neglected and overlooked as endangered or prone to extinction, even by many phycologists [123].…”

“…They are particularly reviewing the published Red Lists across Europe, focusing on microalgae that were mostly neglected and overlooked as endangered or prone to extinction, even by many phycologists [123]. The complexity and controversy of understanding, and subsequently protecting microalgae in practice is recognized at several levels, starting with challenging the ubiquitous concept for the microorganisms that "everything is everywhere", by the evidence provided by Brodie et al [123] and Juran and Kaštovsky [122]. Biogeography i.e.…”

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.

“…Since eukaryotic algae and cyanobacteria play pivotal role in functioning of freshwater ecosystems, any changes in their structure can finally alter the composition of the whole ecosystem (Reynolds 2006). Thus, planktic algae and cyanobacteria are used to describe the status of habitats and to predict different disturbation (Juráň and Kaštovský 2019). These acts requires detailed knowledge about local and worldwide distribution of taxa, especially in case of rare ones (Juráň and Kaštovský 2019).…”

International and national protection strategies and directives focus mainly on macroscopic organism and attempt to maintain their endangered habitats. However, microscopic communities are also threatened by decreasing biodiversity and many species including freshwater algae can disappear without even knowing they were present in the habitat. Defining rarity of microscopic taxa is not easy. The species’ rarity is based on detailed knowledge of distribution and abundance of species. But only limited information is available about rare algal species especially in a given ecoregion. Reducing the data gaps, here, we present altogether 20 phytoplankton taxa rare in Hungary: three species of Chlorophyceae, eight species of Trebouxiophyceae, two taxa of Euglenophyceae, one-one species of Cyanobacteria, Bacillariophyceae and Mediophyceae and three species of Xanthophyceae. One of them, the Cylindrotheca gracilis is on the Hungarian Red List. Physical and ecological characteristics of standing waters where these species were found as well as their former occurrence all over the world are also reviewed.
