Widespread Production of Polyunsaturated Aldehydes by Benthic Diatoms of the North Pacific Ocean’s Salish Sea
Diatoms are key primary producers across marine, freshwater, and terrestrial ecosystems. They are responsible for photosynthesis and secondary...

Interspecific occupancy-abundance relationship of benthic diatoms changes seasonally with attachment mode in a tropical river
The positive occupancy-abundance relationship (OAR) is considered a ubiquitous pattern and well explained by species niches. However, OAR can change...

Aquatic phases have a stronger effect on lotic benthic diatoms than human-induced microhabitat variability
Here, we studied the influence of changes of aquatic phases (standing and flowing phases) and human-induced habitat variability (natural and...

Differences in diversity and community assembly processes between planktonic and benthic diatoms in the upper reach of the **sha River, China
Comparing spatio-temporal patterns between planktonic and benthic algae is helpful for understanding their associations and differences. However,...

Diatoms in Surface Sediments of the Academy Bay of the Sea of Okhotsk
AbstractThe study of diatoms in the surface sediments of Academy Bay (Sea of Okhotsk) revealed a rich diatom flora (187 species and intraspecific...

Diatoms: A Potential for Assessing River Health
Diatoms are autotrophic, photosynthetic, and eukaryotic microalgae belonging to phylum Ochrophyta. The main function of diatoms is to convert...
-
Genome analysis of Parmales, the sister group of diatoms, reveals the evolutionary specialization of diatoms from phago-mixotrophs to photoautotrophs
The order Parmales (class Bolidophyceae) is a minor group of pico-sized eukaryotic marine phytoplankton that contains species with cells surrounded...

Ocean Acidification Conditions and Marine Diatoms
Ocean acidification doesn’t just erode calcium carbonate shells. It can also slow the rate of diatoms to build their beautiful, intricate silica cell...
-
Patterns and drivers for benthic algal biomass in sub-Arctic mountain ponds
This study investigated the spatial variation in total benthic algal biomass and within cyanobacteria, green algae, and diatoms in sub-Arctic ponds....
-
Agricultural land-use effects on the colonization dynamics of the benthic diatom assemblage of lowland streams
Various agrochemicals have been shown to affect diatom growth, physiology, and the structure and diversity of the assemblage. This research aims to...
-
Impacts of climate change on stream benthic diatoms—a nation-wide perspective of reference conditions
Consequences of anthropogenic climate change directly affect freshwater ecosystems and their aquatic biological communities. Diatoms are amongst the...
-
Ecosystem services provided by freshwater and marine diatoms
Diatoms, a unique group of algae colonising a wide range of aquatic habitats and contributing to human well-being in many ways. We list and summarise...
-
The Photoprotective Behavior of a Motile Benthic Diatom as Elucidated from the Interplay Between Cell Motility and Physiological Responses to a Light Microgradient Using a Novel Experimental Setup
It has long been hypothesized that benthic motile pennate diatoms use phototaxis to optimize photosynthesis and minimize photoinhibitory damage by...

A bibliometric study on the use of diatoms in water quality monitoring and bioassessment in Africa across 10-year (2012–2022) period
Living organisms are used in water quality evaluation, thus reflecting the constantly changing physical and chemical characteristics of aquatic...

An experimental study to assess resistance and resilience strategies of freshwater diatoms to cope with drying in Mediterranean temporary rivers
Temporary rivers are aquatic ecosystems that alternate periods of water flow with dry periods. Diatoms are a group of unicellular microalgae with a...

Ship Hull-Fouling Diatoms on Korean Research Vessels Revealed by Morphological and Molecular Methods, and Their Environmental Implications
Ship biofouling is one of the main vectors for the introduction and global spread of non-indigenous organisms. Diatoms were the early colonizers of...
-
The Deep Benthic Zone
The basin’s shape of Lake Alchichica resembles a cylinder, with a limited littoral and extended profundal zone. The deep benthic zone is somewhat...
-
Sedimentary, littoral and planktic diatoms show different diversity patterns and assembly mechanisms in mountain lakes of the northern European Alps
This study analysed diversity patterns of sedimentary, littoral and planktic diatoms in 43 mountain lakes in the northern European Alps and...
-
Planktonic Centric Diatoms (Bacillariophyta, Coscinodiscaceae) of the Cheboksary Reservoir, Russia
AbstractIn 2013–2020, a total of 29 species and varieties of centric diatoms belonging to 28 genera have been found in the phytoplankton of the...

Water mass influence on spatial and seasonal distributions of diatoms, dinoflagellates and coccolithophores in the western Barents Sea
Arctic phytoplankton are highly sensitive to seawater physical and chemical conditions, especially in the context of rapid climate change and sea ice...
