title: Spatial and temporary differences in the development of Ulnaria danica, Ulnaria acus, and Fragilaria radians in Lake Baikal
abstract: The assessment of phytoplankton diversity in freshwater bodies strongly depends on the methods used for taxonomic identification. Araphid diatoms of the genera Ulnaria (Kützing) Compère and Fragilaria Kützing are often dominate the phytoplankton composition of freshwater ecosystems. To use of an integrated approach, including metabarcoding using analysis of fragments of the V3-V4 region of 18S rRNA, light and scanning electron microscopy, made it possible to assess the differences of these speci
