Edited by Joseph Seckbach, professor emeritus at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem; and Patrick Kociolek, professor of ecology and evolutionary biology at CU Diatoms are fascinating algae, whose ...

When it comes to diatoms that live in the ocean, new research suggests that photosynthesis is not the only strategy for accumulating carbon. Instead, these single-celled plankton are also building ...

Trees get most of the love, but diatoms, a group of photosynthetic microalgae, produce 20% of Earth’s oxygen and are the foundation of aquatic food webs. The prevalence and diversity of diatoms have ...

Diatom taxonomy continues to evolve as researchers integrate morphological, molecular and ultrastructural techniques to resolve long‐standing ambiguities in species delimitation. Advances in ...

We examine diatoms via research-grade microscopes. Our lab also houses several thousand glass microslides and archived material, primarily from arctic, alpine and Antarctic lakes and streams. Our work ...

To elucidate the functional group characteristics of planktonic diatoms and their relationship with environment factors in the Ruxi River, multivariate statistical analysis and functional group ...
