Since its publication, the article 'Towards a functional classification of the freshwater
phytoplankton'(Reynolds et al., J Plankton Res 24: 417–428, 2002), has attracted the …

The traditional genus Aphanizomenon comprises a group of filamentous nitrogen-fixing
cyanobacteria of which several memebers are able to develop blooms and to produce toxic …

Droughts are a major hazard to both natural and human-dominated environments and
those, especially of long duration and high intensity, can be highly damaging and leave long …

The book presents the results of long-term (1953–2014) research of phytoplankton of nine
reservoirs of the Volga River basin, situated in various natural-climatic zones. The catalogue …

Skeletonema comprises a planktonic genus of centric diatoms occurring in coastal and
brackish waters worldwide. The most commonly reported species, Skeletonema costatum …

Abstract The Reynolds Functional Groups (RFG) classification scheme is an informative and
widely used method in ecological studies of freshwater phytoplankton. It clusters species …

Long‐term dynamics of phytoplankton have been addressed in marine and lake systems,
but rarely in rivers. Large rivers, however, are highly human‐impacted, whereas global …

The morpho-functional classifications of phytoplankton have been recently proposed as
useful tools in the aquatic biomonitoring. In this study, we compared three different …

In order to explore new bioindicators of aquatic environments, phytoplankton functional
groups (FGs) were applied in a subtropical estuarine river delta system (the Pearl River …

Abstract Reynolds Functional Groups (RFG) were designed to represent the diversity of
phytoplankton assemblages of freshwater ecosystems and are among the most enduring …
