evolution and biogeography of freshwater diatoms. The research covers both extinct and extant taxa, and utilises both fossil and preserved material as well as living material in the form of cultured ...

Research in the Diatom Section focuses on important questions of taxonomy and ecology of diatoms, as well as examining questions about evolution, biogeography, phylogenetics, and fossil taxa.

The fossils dating to the Miocene were encased in a type of fossilized algae called diatomite ... errands — they fuel our gas ...

These zones, which are characterised by distinct seasonality including major differences in day length, suggest that phytochromes enable the diatoms equipped with them to measure the passage of ...

There are other things in the sediments to consider such as microfossils (microscopic fossils), including pollen and algae known as diatoms. Pollen – yes, the stuff that makes you sneeze – can ...
