A group of diatom species belonging to the Nitzschia genus, gave up on photosynthesis and now get their carbon straight from ...

Our diatom research is focused on the pursuit of comparative biology: the systematics, evolution and biogeography of freshwater diatoms. The research covers both extinct and extant taxa, and utilises ...

A group of diatom species belonging to the Nitzschia genus, gave up on photosynthesis and now get their carbon straight from their environment, thanks ...

I am interested in the taxonomy, systematics and evolution of the diatoms. I also study biogeography, as well as applications of diatoms, such as water quality monitoring and biofuels. My current ...

Blooms of diatoms—microscopic, photosynthetic algae—were alive and well beneath (and within) the lake's ice cover. "Some of the main winter-spring diatom bloom formers, like Aulacoseira ...

We also suggested that a warming climate will simultaneously enhance the productivity of large phytoplankton, such as diatoms, in coastal regions, owing to increased wind-driven upwelling 1.

Specialisms: Diatom systematics and taxonomy, with special focus on naviculoid diatoms Scanning electron microscopy Diatom culturing Postgraduate training My research has focused on aspects of diatom ...

Oku, 52, is thought to be one of only a few diatom artists in the world. Diatoms are so tiny that he has produced about 600 pieces in the past decade. But with his creations gaining newfound ...

Gregory Jedd of Temasek Life Sciences Laboratory, Singapore, and colleagues report these findings in a new study published April 1 in the open-access journal PLOS Biology. Unlike most diatoms ...
