• Abstract

  Reservoirs are environments constructed for energy production and water supply. They are complex, dynamic and sensitive systems to the effects of anthropogenic activities in the watershed. One of the main consequences of anthropic actions in the hydrographic basin is the occurrence of the artificial eutrophication process due to the excessive supply of nutrients that triggers the accelera…

• Abstract

  Freshwater is a natural resource that has been under strong pressure, to the point of becoming t one of the greatest XXI Century threatens. Under this water crisis context, the Sao Paulo Metropolitan Region (SPMR) is emblematic. Present research will adopt innovative approaches that consist of the paleolimnology-neolimnology integration, as well as of the use of anthropogenic impact multi…

• Abstract

  Understanding the past trajectory and the variability of aquatic ecosystems is fundamental to engender reference points as well as implement environmental recovery and management strategies, particularly in systems that have high ecological value and economic importance. Therefore, studies covering long time series are essential to avoid a reductionist view of nature that are usually unab…

• Abstract

  Achnanthidium Kützing is considered a monoraphid diatom genus due to its heterovalvar frustule with one raphid and other araphid valve; also, is characterized by the linear, lanceolate or elliptical valves, with girdle view forming a deep V. In São Paulo State is estimated that around 22 species/varieties of the genus are known. However, most of the information has not been published and …

• Abstract

  Eunotia Ehrenberg (Eunotiaceae, Eunotiales) is one of the largest genera of living diatoms, and is characteristic mainly by the rudimentary raphe system restricted to the poles and the presence of rimoportulae. In São Paulo State, around 87 species/varieties of Eunotia are presently known. However, most of the information was not yet published, and presently many species require taxonomic…

• Abstract

  Eunotia is the most representative genus of family Eunotiaceae and is mainly characterized by its rudimentary raphe system restricted to the valve poles and the presence of rimoportulae. In the São Paulo State, 87 species/varieties of Eunotia are presently known. However, most of the information regarding them was not yet published, and many species presently require taxonomic revision. T…
