Scientists have found that an increase in water salinity in the cells of the marine diatom Nitzschia weakens the connections ...

They are an internationally recognised type specimen repository, containing representatives from freshwater, brackish and marine environments. All major diatom groups, both fossil and recent, are ...

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.

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 ...

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 ...

Researchers in the Sigman Lab at Princeton University were able to extract that minuscule amount of nitrogen from countless fossil diatoms and create a model for the activity of the Southern Ocean ...

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.

Made from the fossilized remains of diatoms (incredibly small organisms which are found in aquatic settings, such as lakes, rivers, and oceans), this substance seems like an innocuous fine powder ...
