Are there species flocks in freshwater diatoms? A review of past reports and a look to the future
We review the literature on species flocks in diatoms. Past descriptions of species flocks in diatoms are of few species and do not demonstrate monophyly of the taxa explicitly. The genus Tetralunata, with 19 tax...

Diatoms (Bacillariophyta) in Rivers
Photosynthetic stramenopiles (heterokonts) constitute at least 11 distinct lineages, including some of the most abundant algae, particularly diatoms. Diatoms are unicellular algae that possess a cell wall comp...

An evolutionary perspective on selecting high-lipid-content diatoms (Bacillariophyta)
Diatoms (Bacillariophyta) characteristically accumulate valuable storage lipids throughout their entire life cycle and therefore are an appealing choice to be used as a feedstock for commercial products, like ...

Open AccessThe Hawaiian freshwater algae biodiversity survey (2009-2014): systematic and biogeographic trends with an emphasis on the macroalgae
A remarkable range of environmental conditions is present in the Hawaiian Islands due to their gradients of elevation, rainfall and island age. Despite being well known as a location for the study of evolution...

Development and comparison of stream indices of biotic integrity using diatoms vs. non-diatom algae vs. a combination
Stream algal indices of biotic integrity (IBIs) are generally based entirely or largely on diatoms, because non-diatom (“soft”) algae can be difficult to quantify and taxonomically challenging, thus calling in...

Nitrogen-fixing cyanobacteria (free-living and diatom endosymbionts): their use in southern California stream bioassessment
A weight-of-evidence approach was used to examine how nutrient availability influences stream benthic algal community structure and to validate nutrient-response thresholds in assessing nutrient limitation. Da...

Summary
The remarkable contributions in the 23 articles by the 49 authors from a dozen different countries, presented in The Diatom World, offer new data on diatoms. This volume celebrates the diatoms’ diversity, emergin...

An Overview of Diatom Classification with Some Prospects for the Future
Diatoms were apparently first recorded by someone known only as Mr. C., a fellow of the Royal Society, in the November–December issue of Philosophical Transactions for 1703 (Anonymous, 1703). It was penned in res...

Diatoms from Hot Springs from Kuril and Sakhalin Islands (Far East, Russia)
We present new data on the diatoms from hot springs of Kuril and Sakhalin Islands of the Russian Far East. These spring habitats represented a diversity of types, including with respect to temperature, pH, and...
