“…Many Diploneis species are only known from restricted geographical areas (e.g., D. burgitensis, D. fontium) [15,16], whereas others, such as D. elliptica, D. fontanella, D. krammeri, D. parapetersenii, and D. separanda, are widely distributed and have defined environmental requirements [16,17]. Diploneis is a common and widespread diatom group in springs, streams, rivers, and lakes in Poland [7,8,18,19].…”
