• Geographical patterns of micro-organismal community structure: are diatoms ubiquitously distributed across boreal streams? (2010, result): “However, our present finding is partly consistent with previous studies on stream diatoms which have found that there is notable spatially-structured variation in these communities (Potapova and Charles 2002).”
• Regional distribution of diatom assemblages in the headwater streams of Luxembourg (2004, background): “Large-scale studies in the USA showed that diatom assemblages are changing along the rivers (Potapova & Charles, 2002).”
• Concordance among stream assemblages and spatial autocorrelation along a fragmented gradient (2007, background): “…upstream– downstream gradient results from the spatial structure of river networks, and it is probably the most well-known, worldwide, large-scale pattern in stream assemblages (e.g. stream fish: Matthews, 1998; benthic macroinvertebrates: Hildrew & Giller, 1994; diatoms: Potapova & Charles, 2002).”
• Spatial extent, regional specificity and metacommunity structuring in lake macrophytes (2013, background): “A number of recent empirical studies have suggested, however, that environmental control may be more important than spatial structuring even at broad spatial extents, although there is much variability among different study systems (Potapova & Charles, 2002; Cottenie, 2005; Heino, 2011).”
• The ecology of freshwater epipelic algae: an update (2008, background): “The possibility that ‘cosmopolitan’ morphospecies (morphologically defined species) consist of more than one biological (i.e. genetically distinct or sexually isolated) species is also discussed by Potapova & Charles (2002).”
• Modeling natural environmental gradients improves the accuracy and precision of diatom-based indicators (2007, background): “Reference sites often vary considerably among and within regions in naturally occurring features (e.g., climate, hydrology, geomorphology, and biogeochemistry) that can influence aquatic assemblages (Hawkins et al. 2000a, Leland and Porter 2000, Potapova and Charles 2002, Soininen et al. 2004).”
• The importance of dispersal related and local factors in shaping the taxonomic structure of diatom metacommunities (2009, background): “Similarly, in lotic diatom communities dispersal related variables have been shown to explain a significant part of the total variation explained at the regional (Soininen et al. 2004, Soininen 2007) and continental scale (Potapova and Charles 2002).”
• Benthic diatom communities in boreal streams: community structure in relation to environmental and spatial gradients (2004, background): “Studies of benthic algae are rare, and they have shown rather subtle regional patterns in algal community structure (Whittier et al. 1988, Pan et al. 1999, 2000; but see Potapova and Charles 2002).”
