We mapped the distribution of mat forming cyanobacteria along the thermal gradient from 30 to 80°C, in nine hot spring districts in northern Thailand. Nineteen genera and 36 species were identified by morphometric analysis. Water temperature was the predominant determinant of community structure in...
