Genus Spiniferomonas (Chrysophyceae, Chromulinales) in Eastern Siberian reservoirs

Abstract

Species belonging to the genus Spiniferomonas are commonly found in continental reservoirs in northern latitudes and may serve as indicators of climate change. A recent revision of the genus has identified 21 morphologically confirmed species of Spiniferomonas, with 17 species inhabiting reservoirs in Eastern Siberia. Detailed descriptions of these species are provided, along with their morphological characteristics supported by microphotographs and original distribution data in Eastern Siberia's reservoirs.
