 Dear researchers and Students,     This article introduces Kumanoa chaugulei Jayalakshmi & John, 2021... Kumanoa chaugulei  Jayalakshmi & John from Kerala (Phycologia)     Kumanoa chaugulei is a newly described freshwater red algae from Kerala, India. This article is published in Phycologia Journal (17th, June 2021). The alga was collected from Idamalayar, a major tributary of Periyar River, Kerala, India, and described based on morphology and molecular phylogeny.  This is the first study from India on Batrachospermacea e with Molecular phylogeny data. In the introduction, the authors have discussed Freshwater red algae and Batrachospermales members and on previous reports. In materials and methods the collection site with GPS, morphology, and molecular data methods. The result part has Morphology and molecular data. Maximum-likelihood (ML) tree has been generated using the rbcL and COI-5P concatenated sequence data. Morphologica...

This short review article provides you information regarding the recent research article published in the European Journal of Taxonomy  (Volume: 751, Pages: 24–37).   A rticle published by Schneider and his team to describe the Dasya sylviae C.W.Schneid., M.M.Cassidy & G.W.Saunders in details.   Dasya sylviae C.W.Schneid., M.M.Cassidy & G.W.Saunders (source: European Journal of Taxonomy)             The alga is actually part of the material collected from the coast of Bermuda by the 2016 Nekton XL Catlin cruise of the R / V Baseline Explorer. The research team already published some new species and some other articles without describing the species, which is given in the introduction part.  In the introduction part, the authors have clearly mentioned the research background of the current article. Then they have discussed the genus Dasya distribution, characters, and some species characters also. The...

 The article describes the Morphology and Life History of  Batrachospermum kylinii sp. nov. from Matheran, Maharashtra. This species belongs to the section Contorta of the Genus Batrachospermum.  

Cytology and Life History of Batrachospermum mahabaleshwarensis M.S.Balakrishnan & B.B.Chaugule 1980    Article published in Cryptogamie: algologie  The important finding in the Life-history of Batrachospermum was discovered by Prof. M.S. Balakrishnan & Prof. B. B. Chaugule. The life history of the freshwater red algae Batrochospermum with the support of Cytology is discussed in great detail in this article... Detailed morphological and cytological studies by Balakrishnan  &  Chaugule were made for  Batrachospermum species to elucidate the life history  “telescoping of the three phases into a  single composite entity”  and locating the precise site of meiosis.   The current system of Classification considers this alga as Kumanoa mahabaleshwarensis (M.S.Balakrishnan & B.B.Chaugule) E.K.Ganesan & J.A.West.
