• Harmful Algal Blooms (2015, background): “Other authors suggest a shift in the total macroinvertebrate community composition and an increase in its abundance where D. geminata occurs (Gillis and Chalifour, 2010; Kilroy et al., 2009).”
• Molecular genetic tools for environmental monitoring of New Zealand's aquatic habitats, past, present and the future (2013, background): “This species has a unique ability to secrete unprecedented masses of mucilaginous stalks which forms mats that can severely impact native species and ecosystem functioning (Kilroy et al. 2009).”
• The arrival and spread of the bloom-forming, freshwater diatom, Didymosphenia geminata, in New Zealand. (2011, background): “One of the few examples of a potentially invasive freshwater micro-alga is the stalked benthic diatom Didymosphenia geminata (Lyngbye) M. Schmidt, 1899 (Figure 1A), which can form unusually high biomass in rivers by producing prolific quantities of stalk material (Kilroy et al. 2009) (Figure 1B,C).”
