    Spatio-temporal dynamics of phytoplankton community in a well-mixed temperate estuary (Sado Estuary, Portugal)

    Physico-chemical characterization of the Sado EstuaryThe seasonal cycle of water temperature in the Sado Estuary in 2018 and 2019, showed the expected pattern, with maxima temperature observed in summer and minima in winter (Fig. 2A). During summer, warmer temperatures were found in the inner regions of the estuary (AC and MC) and lower temperatures near the mouth of the estuary (EM). During winter, there was an inversion of the pattern, with the coolest waters recorded inside the estuary (Fig. 2A). Near the estuary mouth (EM), salinities recorded were always between 35 and 36 (Fig. 2B). In the inner stations, higher salinities ( > 30) were found during summer/early-autumn of 2018 and late-spring/summer of 2019. Maxima salinities ( > 36) were recorded in the summer of 2019 (Fig. 2B). The lowest salinities were always found in the upper region (AC), reaching a minimum of 12 in March 2018 (Fig. 2B).Figure 2Discrete time series of physico-chemical variables obtained in the Sado Estuary during sampling surveys. (A)—Water temperature (°C); (B)—Salinity; (C)—Turbidity (NTU); (D)—Coloured dissolved organic matter at 443 nm (CDOM, m−1); (E)—pH; (F)—Dissolved oxygen (DO, mg L−1); (G)—Dissolved inorganic nitrogen (DIN, µmol L−1); (H)—Phosphate (PO43−, µmol L−1); and (I) –Silicate (Si(OH)4, µmol L−1).Full size imageThe water turbidity was substantially higher in AC, reaching values above 10 NTU in the summer of 2018 and since spring of 2019, with a maximum of 40 NTU recorded in March 2018 (Fig. 2C). The turbidity values and seasonal pattern for stations MC and MR were similar, with a maximum of 10 NTU recorded in MR during spring of 2018 (Fig. 2C). Lower turbidity was observed during winter in stations AC, MC, and MR (Fig. 2C). Water turbidity was always lower than 1.5 NTU at EM (Fig. 2C). The CDOM was higher in the upper region and lower in the downstream area (Fig. 2D). At AC, a CDOM value  10 µmol L−1) (Fig. 2G).

Piece of amber 13 × 6 × 2 mm, cut from larger lump, polished flat on one side, more convex on the other.Diagnostic charactersThe nymph of Megalophthallidion gen. nov. is similar in general body shape to the only known fossil protopsyllidioidean nymph described from Lower Cretaceous Lebanese amber—Talaya batraba Drohojowska et Szwedo, 2013. The nymph of Talaya batraba is 2nd or 3rd instar, therefore some features are difficult to compare with this last instar nymph of Megalophthallidion gen. nov. The morphological states observed in those two specimens are: head covered with strongly expanded disc and expanded disc of pronotum, however shapes and ratios of these structures differ; compound eyes on ventral side of head, shifted laterad (ommatidia on cones in T. batraba, while ventroposterior expansions are present in Megalophthallidion gen. nov.); compound eyes visible from above as short, stout cones in fissure between posterior margin of disc (hypertrophied vertex) and anterior margin of pronotum (compound eyes (?) are visible on dorsal side of Permian Aleuronympha bibulla Riek, 1974); in Megalophthallidion gen. nov. rostrum reached mesocoxa, while in Talaya batraba distinctly exceeds length of the body; abdomen with 9 segments; tergites of abdominal segments 5th–9th expanded posterolaterad in form of fan-like expansion; 9th abdominal segment short, placed ventral; anal tube short, cylindrical, epiproct (?) globular.DescriptionNymph, 5th instar (Figs. 3A–D, 4A–F).

Fore wing pad 0.6 mm long, with small, straight humeral lobe, forming a right angle, not protruding anteriorly. Mesothoracic tergites slightly larger than metathoracic segments (respectively c. 0.14 mm and c. 0.12 mm long in midline, 0.26 mm and 0.27 mm in lateral lines); mesothoracic tergum with distinct median elevation (low double crest with ecdysial line in between), slightly wider than long in midline, anterior margin arcuate, lateral margins straight, subparallel, posterior margin concave.
