Further data to the distribution of Gonyostomum latum IVANOV in Europe, Africa and Central America

Xanthophyte, Eustigmatophyte, and Raphidophyte Algae

“…Gonostomum species have been reported from Ontario (Duthie and Socha, 1976), British Columbia (Stein, 1975;Stein and Borden, 1978), Ohio (Havens, 1989; authors' personal observations), Massachusetts (Drouet and Cohen, 1935); Tennessee (Lackey, 1942), North Carolina (Whitford and Schumacher, 1969), Minnesota, Montana, Alaska, Arkansas (R.L. Meyer personal communication), the southeastern United States (Prescott, 1978), and Jamaica (Schmidt and Kusel-Ftezmann, 1999). The global distribution and possible spread of Gonyostomum has been examined by several authors (Schmidt and Kusel-Ftezmann, 1999;Lebret et al, 2012).…”

The global distribution and possible spread of Gonyostomum has been examined by several authors (Schmidt and Kusel-Ftezmann, 1999;Lebret et al, 2012). Blooms have been reported in many lakes and are possibly caused by acidification, rising temeperatures, and/or increases in total P and DOC (Cronberg et al, 1988;Findlay et al, 2005;Rengefors et al, 2012).…”
