- The ecology of freshwater epipelic algae: an update (2008, background): “In comparison to hot springs (dominated by few tolerant cyanobacteria), the species diversity in cold freshwater springs is large and dominated mainly by diatoms (Werum 2001; Poulı́čková et al. 2005; Cantonati et al. 2006; Zelazna-Wieczorek & Maninska 2006).”
- Environmental controls of epilithic diatom depth-distribution in an oligotrophic lake characterized by marked water-level fluctuations (2009, background): “The mid-depth zone of lakes shares several characteristics typical of springs, as well as environmental stability and relatively favourable conditions (Cantonati et al , 2006 ).”
- Crenic habitats, hotspots for freshwater biodiversity conservation: toward an understanding of their ecology (2012, background): “This evaluation was important because springs can integrate the effects of direct and indirect impacts on the whole drainage basin in time and space (Cantonati et al. 2006; Fig.”
- Diatoms in springs of the Alps: spring types, environmental determinants, and substratum (2012, background): “The environmental variables affecting composition of spring diatom assemblages are pH, conductivity, inorganic N, substrate particle size, and shade (Cantonati 1998, Cantonati et al. 2006).”
- Benthic Algae in High Altitude Streams of the Alps – a Neglected Component of the Aquatic Biota (2006, background): “…altitude streams the thick darkbrown gelatinous masses of the chrysophyte Hydrurus foetidus are especially common, although this taxon is also widely distributed in rheocrenes (Cantonati et al., 2006) and fast flowing streams of all parts of the Alps and at all altitudes with a dominance in winter.”
- The role of environmental variables in structuring epiphytic and epilithic diatom assemblages in springs and streams of the Dolomiti Bellunesi National Park (south-eastern Alps). (2009, background): “Nowadays, several studies of spring diatoms in mountain regions are available, conducted in the Alps (Cantonati 1998a, 1998b, 2003, Gesierich 2006, Taxböck & Preisig 2007), the Pyrenees (Sabater & Roca 1990) and the Himalayas (Jüttner & Dahal, pers. com., Nautiyal, pers. com.).”
