First records of Ulvella spongophila (Ulvophyceae: Ulvellaceae) for the Palaearctic region: the discovery of four populations in the SW Iberian Peninsula

During extensive Spanish river macrophyte and invertebrate surveys, the freshwater chlorophyte Ulvella spongophila was detected growing inside the freshwater sponge Ephydatia fluviatilis attached to stones. This finding is relevant from the phycological, biogeographical and ecological points of view...

This finding is relevant from the phycological, biogeographical and ecological points of view, and is the second world record of the species after one single known locality (Lake Manindjau, Sumatra, Malaysia), from which the species was collected and described around 130 years ago. The species was collected under summer base-flow conditions in four Mediterranean temporary/seasonal streams in 2018 and 2019.

Este hallazgo resulta relevante desde el punto de vista ficológico, biogeográfico y ecológico, siendo la segunda cita mundial de la especie, después de la única localidad conocida (Lago Manindjau, Sumatra, Malasia), donde la especie fue recogida y descrita hace unos 130 años. Los especímenes fueron recogidos en condiciones de caudal base, en verano, en cuatro arroyos mediterráneos temporales o estacionales durante 2018 y 2019. En este trabajo se presentan nuevos datos acerca de las características morfológicas y preferencias ecológicas de la especie en la Península Ibérica. También se discute la adscripción de los especímenes observados a la especie, los aspectos biogeográficos más relevantes del hallazgo, algunas particularidades biológicas de la asociación alga-esponja, así como el estado de conservación de la especie.asociación Española de Limnología202520252023info:eu-repo/semantics/articleapplication/pdfapplication/pdfhttps://doi.org/10.23818/limn.42.02https://hdl.handle.net/10578/45314reponame:RUIdeRA.
