“…In addition, the biogeographical distribution of A. granulata and its varieties from different latitudes provide evidence for the relatively thermophilic preference of this species. Previous investigations showed that this taxon was widely distributed in tropical and subtropical regions (Kilham and Kilham, 1975;Lewis, 1978;Kilham et al, 1986;Pilskaln and Johnson, 1991;Davies et al, 2002;Wang et al, 2008Wang et al, , 2012bNardelli et al, 2016). Furthermore, many records from temperate lakes showed that their bloom periods were often concentrated in summer and autumn, when higher water temperature occurred (Reynolds, 1973;Shear et al, 1976;Reynolds and Reynolds, 1985;Poulíčková, 1993).…”
