Abstract:Diatoms are microalgae, known to present several characteristics that
make them excellent bioindicators. In this study, we analyzed the
epiphytic diatom communities of shallow lakes, with the aim of exploring
the genetic variability explained by physical, chemical or geographical
variables. We selected 77 lakes within the Spanish part of the Duero
River Basin characterized by wide chemical variability. In each lake,
physical parameters were measured in situ and water samples were taken
to determine nutrient le… Show more
