The marine and brackish water species of Vaucheria (Tribophyceae, Chrysophyta) from Connecticut

A more than decade-long field investigation of the genus Vaucheria in Connecticut salt marshes and estuarine habitats has revealed the presence of nine species, including five species and a variety not previously known for the area: V. arcassonensis, V. compacta var. koksoakensis, V. coronata, V. in...

Description
Summary:A more than decade-long field investigation of the genus Vaucheria in Connecticut salt marshes and estuarine habitats has revealed the presence of nine species, including five species and a variety not previously known for the area: V. arcassonensis, V. compacta var. koksoakensis, V. coronata, V. intermedia, V. minuta, and V. nasuta. Culture conditions in the laboratory stimulated production of gametangia, allowing for identification of mostly vegetative field-collected samples in their native muds. All marine and brackish water species of Vaucheria previously reported from other parts of New England are now known from Long Island Sound.
