Distribución actual y potencial de la microalga Didymosphenia geminata (Lyngbye) Schmidt en ChileMejías Caballero, Wilson Alexander January 2017 (has links)
Memoria para optar al Título
Profesional de Ingeniero Forestal / Didymosphenia geminata (Didymo) es una microalga bentónica declarada plaga en el año
2013 por la Subsecretaria de Pesca. Esta tiene una amplia distribución en Chile,
encontrándose desde la Región del Biobío hacia el sur del país. Las floraciones de esta
especie, ocupan una alta proporción de la superficie de los ríos, alcanzando incluso un 100%
de cobertura. Debido a los altos costos ambientales y económicos que provoca la presencia
de la especie, es necesario determinar su potencial de expansión en el país y, de esta manera
poder enfocar los esfuerzos para su control en las zonas más críticas. Es así como el objetivo
de esta memoria fue estudiar la distribución actual y potencial de la microalga D. geminata
en Chile. De este modo, mediante el uso de distintas variables bioclimáticas, ambientales y
geográficas fue posible determinar la distribución potencial de la especie, encontrando que
ésta tiene alta probabilidad de expandir su presencia por varias regiones del país. Este
procedimiento se llevó a cabo con el algoritmo MAXENT, el cual fue escogido gracias a las
buenas predicciones que ha presentado para esta especie con respecto a otros métodos. Por
otro lado, se determinó que las variables que más incidencia tienen en la presencia de la
especie son la variabilidad estacional, flujo acumulado y la precipitación del periodo más
seco del año. / Didymosphenia geminata (Didymo) is a benthic microalgae, declared as a plague in 2013 by
the Subsecretaria de Pesca. This species has a wide distribution in Chile, from Biobío Region
towards the south of the country. The bloom of this species, occupy a high proportion of the
rivers surface, reaching even a 100% of coverage. Due to the high environmental and
economic costs caused by the presence of the species, it is necessary to determine its potential
expansion in the country and, in this way, it being able to focus all efforts for controlling it
in the most critical areas. Thus, the objective of this report was studying the current and
potential distribution of D. geminata microalgae in Chile. Therefore, through the use of
various bioclimatic, environmental and geographic variables it was possible to define the
potential distribution of the species, concluding that it has a high probability of expanding its
presence in several regions of the country. This procedure was carried out using the
MAXENT algorithm, which was chosen due to the good predictions presented for this
species with respect to others methods. On the other hand, it was determined that the variables
which are most incidental in the presence of the species are seasonal variability, and the flow
and precipitation accumulation in the driest quarter of the year. / Diciembre 2018

The invasion ecology of Didymosphenia geminataBray, Jonathan Peter January 2014 (has links)
Didymosphenia geminata (Didymo) is a nuisance, bloom forming, invasive freshwater algae. Through an ecological survey I examined habitat associations and effects, identifying bloom preferences for stable, low nutrient rivers, often downstream of still waterbodies; with major observed changes to algal and invertebrate communities. Experimental examination of the functional significance of blooms, provided strong support for the hypothesis that blooms are an adaptive, plastic ecophysiological response to nutrient limitation, maximising internal mat cycling and phosphatase based uptake. Further experimentation identified Didymo absence from higher nutrient waterways, is explained by competition with other algae and suppression of the 'bloom' response. Research suggests Didymo is here to stay, but spread management and mitigation will minimise damage to New Zealand's waterways.
