Induction of Conjugation and Zygospore Cell Wall Characteristics in the Alpine <i>Spirogyra mirabilis</i> (Zygnematophyceae, Charophyta): Advantage under Climate Change Scenarios?

Induction of Conjugation and Zygospore Cell Wall Characteristics in the Alpine <i>Spirogyra mirabilis</i> (Zygnematophyceae, Charophyta): Advantage under Climate Change Scenarios?

Extreme environments, such as alpine habitats at high elevation, are increasingly exposed to man-made climate change. Zygnematophyceae thriving in these regions possess a special means of sexual reproduction, termed conjugation, leading to the formation of resistant zygospores. A field sample of <...
