• Phytoplankton assemblages in the Gerlache and Bransfield Straits (Antarctic Peninsula) determined by light microscopy and CHEMTAX analysis of HPLC pigment data (2002, background): “…Mackey, 2000; Mackey et al., 1998; Wright et al., 1996; Wright and van den Enden, 2000), coastal waters (Pinckney et al., 1998), and several lakes (Descy et al., 2000) has shown a sound capability to reconstruct distributions of several algal classes, and even different pigment types from a…”
• The use of HPLC pigment analysis to study microphytobenthos communities (2003, background): “Nevertheless, numerous authors assume that pigment ratios do not change through a data set, enabling the estimation of the contribution to each taxonomic group to the total phytoplankton biomass ((Barlow et al.,1993; Desey et al., 2000; Gieskes and Kraay, 1983), amongst others).”
• Identification and quantification of phytoplankton groups in lakes using new pigment ratios – a comparison between pigment analysis by HPLC and microscopy (2006, background): “Descy et al. (2000a) applied CHEMTAX to lake water samples and concluded that the use of CHEMTAX in freshwater seems highly promising, but emphasised although that validation was still needed via comparison of Chl a biomass estimates from pigments with data from microscopic examinations.”
• Abundance and distribution of picoplankton in tropical, oligotrophic Lake Kivu, eastern Africa (2008, methodology): “Samples for Chl a and secondary pigment analysis followed the procedure described in Descy et al. (2000) : 3 L were filtered on Whatman GF ⁄ F (Maidstone, U.K.) or Macherey-Na ¨gel (Du ¨ ren, Germany) GF ⁄ 5 filters.”
• Using HPLC pigment analysis to investigate phytoplankton taxonomy: the importance of knowing your species (2004, background): “Particular attention has been paid to the issue of variations in the marker pigment-Chl a ratio due to factors such as nutrient status and light (Mackey et al. 1996; Descy et al. 2000; Higgins and Mackey 2000; Schlueter et al. 2000).”
• Phytoplankton ecology of Lake Kivu (eastern Africa) (2006, methodology): “As a parallel study was carried out in Lake Tanganyika using the same techniques and sampling schedule (Descy et al., 2005), we draw a comparison of the present phytoplankton ecology of these two Rift lakes.”
• Zooplankton of Lake Kivu, East Africa, half a century after the Tanganyika sardine introduction (2006, methodology): “This suggests that, in Lake Kivu as in the other Rift lakes (Descy et al., 2005), large climate-driven varia665tion in primary production can directly influence consumer production.”
