Description

The Phycological Collection from Herbarium of Universidade Estadual de Londrina encompasses about 2,000 periphytic and phytoplankton samples, collected in different counties from States of Paraná, Mato Grosso do Sul, São Paulo and Alagoas, being the most expressive for the counties along the Tibagi River Basin. These samples sum approximately 7.050 records of different species of algae.

Sampling Description

Study Extent

The collection groups samples collected from 1844 until 2017.

Sampling

The main methods used to collected were: filtered water samples using plankton net from 20 to 68 um; scrapping of natural substrates (e.g., plants, rocks, etc), and total phytoplankton. The samples are fixed using Transeau or Lugol Solutions. Some samples were also oxidized and permanent slides were produced, using Naphrax® as including medium.

Method steps

  1. The samples are available to consult, and assessment of the data.

Taxonomic Coverages

Since algae is an artificial group to designate organisms that carried out photosynthesis but does not produce embryo, the FUEL-Algae encompasses representatives of different kingdom, such as Bacteria, Plantae, Chromista, and Protozoa.
  1. Plantae
    common name: Plantas rank: kingdom
  2. Chromista
    common name: Chromist rank: kingdom
  3. Protozoa
    common name: Protist rank: kingdom
  4. Bacteria
    common name: Bacteria rank: kingdom

Geographic Coverages

The Phycological Collection from Herbarium of Universidade Estadual de Londrina houses samples especially from State of Paraná, Brazil, including type material of species, but also from another countries.
