Adlafia bryophila (J.B.Petersen) Lange-Bertalot (Figs 10 A-R; 11 A-F) Bibliotheca Diatomologica 38: 89 (Moser et al. 1998). — Navicula bryophila J.B.Petersen, The Botany of Iceland 2: 388 (Petersen 1928). ECOLOGY AND DISTRIBUTION. — Adlafia bryophila was commonly observed inTursujuq National Park, found in 23 lakes.It was generally present in low relative abundances, with a mean of 0.5% and maximum of 2.7%. No distributional pattern was found in relation to general environmental conditions, but it appears to be a circumneutral species (Appendix 3). Moreover, its distribution may be affected by Mg and dissolved inorganic carbon (DIC) concentrations (Appendices 4; 5). This taxon has been identified from the circumpolar Arctic region. DESCRIPTION The frustules are rectangular and narrow in girdle view. The valves exhibit a linear to linear-lanceolate shape with rostrate ends. Based on a sample size of 28, the valve dimensions range from a length of 11.5 to 19 µm and a width of 3 to 4 µm. The stria number ranges ... : Published as part of Alibert, Marie, Hamilton, Paul B., Pienitz, Reinhard & Antoniades, Dermot, 2023, Small naviculoid species of Kobayasiella Lange-Bertalot, Adlafia Moser, Lange-Bertalot & Metzeltin, Nupela Vyverman & Compère and Sellaphora Mereschowsky from Tursujuq National Park, Hudson Bay region, Nunavik, Québec, pp. 157-187 in Cryptogamie, Algologie 20 (9) on pages 171-174, DOI: 10.5252/cryptogamie-algologie2023v44a9, http://zenodo.org/record/10376356 ...
