Abstract
Several populations belonging to the genus Staurosirella have been observed in European rivers that were previously identified as Staurosirellapinnata. In light of the recent taxonomic revisions of the genus Staurosirella, the morphology of the unknown Staurosirella populations has been critically investigated using light and scanning electron microscopy. Following the comparison with previously described Staurosirella species, five taxa could not be identified using the currently available literature on the genus. These five taxa are described as new based on differences in valve outline; shape, size and structure of the apical pore fields; structure of the striae; and the presence, position and structure of the marginal spines. Two new species were described using historic collection material: Staurosirellabinodiformissp. nov. and Svanheurckianasp. nov. Two new species were observed in samples from rivers in Flanders: S.marginostriatasp. nov. and S.stoksianasp. nov. whereas a fifth species was observed in rivers from Iceland: S.jonssonianasp. nov. All new species are compared with similar Staurosirella species worldwide. Notes are added on their ecological preferences derived from both physicochemical data and the associated diatom flora.
期刊介绍:
Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance.
Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
